Advanced Permissions for Special Use Cases

The author was surprised by the wide range of use cases supported by LaunchDarkly's feature management platform. Initially, they thought it was a tool for software development, but after hearing about their friend's small software company facing challenges in satisfying customers who demanded unique features, they realized that feature flags could be used to provide differentiated experiences and custom pricing structures. This solution enables vendors to capture appropriate value while users pay only for what they need. The discovery of novel applications of the feature flagging approach will continue as more problems are solved using this fundamental technique.
