Anyone using LaunchDarkly, and willing to comment on the experience? Code-wise, this seems like a pretty straightforward problem. I'm surprised there aren't mo

  We use LD, because (1) we don't have time to make a pretty UI with user management and audit logs, and (2) we like the reliability story of running all of the heavy lifting through fastly's CDN. They are a little more pricey than we'd prefer, but we're happy.

  I've used it. I wasn't super impressed with the features around grouping accounts so that you can match a group with a feature toggle. As I recall, it was mostly regexes, rather then a long running group system. I'm guessing a big infusion of money will help with this.

  As a product owner who uses LaunchDarkly, my preference is to always abstract complexity if its not core to my product. I am always an advocate for tools and services that allow me to get to market quicker, while reducing long-term overhead. An internal service like LD would need to be built and also maintained. I think many people overestimate the complexity of services like this; it seems simple but execution is always more difficult (scale, bugs, features, etc). Cheers to LD for providing this service so my team can concentrate on our core.
