Re: Show HN: Feature flag management for feature lifecycle control
#2Hi,
I’m Edith Harbaugh, CEO & co-founder of LaunchDarkly. Feature flagging/toggling is a best practice of continuous delivery. Feature flagging is easy - you can do it with a config file or a database field. However, once you start feature flagging at scale, your feature flag config files can become a junk drawer & a form of technical debt.
LaunchDarkly is a feature flag management system that allows you to scale up. You get an intuitive UI that non-technical users can control feature flags with - for example, a Product Manager can turn on functionality. We also give you access level controls and audit logging - allowing you to control who can change which feature flag and get visibility on these changes. As well, we offer SDKs for multiple languages so you can use feature flags consistently, across mobile and web. When you’re ready to use feature flags at scale, we hope you’ll use LaunchDarkly.
Would love your feedback about how you’re using feature flags already, and what you’d expect to see from a feature flag management system.

#3can't you just use an open source library for this? how many feature flags would you even need for this to be worth it?
Re: Show HN: Feature flag management for feature lifecycle control
#4Looks awesome! How long does it take to integrate?

Yeah, this is exactly what my dev teams need right now. I reached out to you just now with my @agco email address on your "schedule a demo" button. Some advice - MAU is not connected to value delivered.
[edit] How much is premium support?

Good question - teams should do what’s best for them based on their resources and scope of feature flagging needs. Though open source libraries exist, they're per language (Ruby, Python). We offer support for all major languages + iOS. As well, we have environment support and access control levels to use feature flags effectively throughout development.

Yes we do. Checkout the documentation for front-end flags at http://docs.launchdarkly.com/docs/front-end-flags.
Let us know if you have any questions.

It is really quick to get started. You just drop our SDK into your project, and add a few lines to your code around where you want to toggle. Our docs [1] give examples in each language that we support.
