Case Study: Netlify achieves a nearly painless feature flag migration and cost savings with DevCycle

A Nearly Painless Migration to DevCycle from LaunchDarkly

Netlify, a leading front-end platform, needed a more flexible and cost-effective feature flag management solution after using LaunchDarkly, where seat-based pricing, configuration complexity, and feature limitations created friction for its fast-paced releases. Netlify migrated to DevCycle to manage feature flags across its dashboard, client apps, deploy previews, and CLI while supporting safer rollouts and broader team access.

DevCycle helped Netlify complete a nearly painless migration using its open-source feature importer, which handled about 90% of the flag porting work. With DevCycle, Netlify reduced code complexity, avoided account restrictions by giving the whole team access, and lowered costs through unlimited-seat pricing; the company also improved its opt-in feature workflow and was able to keep users on DevCycle without losing preferences.
