Avoid Concurrency Pitfalls with the LaunchDarkly SDKs
Developers working on modern platforms often need to consider concurrency issues when writing mobile apps or high-volume web services. The LaunchDarkly SDKs are designed for use in highly concurrent settings, but there are still a few edge cases worth keeping in mind. These scenarios involve avoiding mutability and performance bottlenecks from unnecessary repetitive flag evaluations. Developers should not modify user objects after passing them to the SDK, avoid modifying values within complex user attributes or flag values after receiving them, and be cautious of potential concurrency issues when using analytics events. By following these guidelines, developers can ensure their applications run smoothly and efficiently with LaunchDarkly SDKs.
