Case Study: LaunchDarkly accelerates developer velocity with Okteto

How Cloud Development Environments Accelerates Innovation at LaunchDarkly

LaunchDarkly, the platform leader for feature delivery and management, needed a better way to support development across complex applications with multiple microservices. Its engineers were struggling with cumbersome local setups, slow debugging, difficult code reviews, and a poor developer experience that also made onboarding new hires and collaborating with non-technical teammates harder. To solve this, LaunchDarkly turned to Okteto.

Using Okteto Instant Cloud Development Environments and Okteto Preview Environments, LaunchDarkly gave developers a one-click way to launch a full stack in the cloud and share preview URLs for every pull request. The result was low-friction adoption from day one, onboarding time reduced from weeks to days, improved collaboration across engineering, product, design, and sales, and faster developer velocity. LaunchDarkly reports the platform now supports 95 developers and runs on a cluster with up to 22 nodes at max load.
