How LaunchDarkly Uses Feature Flags: Integrations and Pricing Tiers

What's this blog post about?

LaunchDarkly, a feature management platform, uses feature flags not only for feature toggling and A/B testing but also to manage various aspects of its product. The company recently undertook a major project to centralize and standardize the way it surfaces complex feature sets to different account types. By using a single boolean flag with four boolean layers, each managed by custom properties, LaunchDarkly was able to create a flexible system for managing integration offerings based on customer plans. This approach allows for easy extensibility, minimal documentation requirements, and no need for new PRs in the product code when adding new integrations.
