Case Study: LaunchDarkly accelerates developer velocity with Okteto

LaunchDarkly cuts onboarding from weeks to days with Okteto

LaunchDarkly, a platform leader for feature delivery and management based in Oakland, faced significant developer experience challenges. Their engineers struggled with a complicated onboarding process for new hires and managing a complex, multi-service local development environment. This led to debugging delays and made it impossible for non-technical team members to participate in code reviews, ultimately slowing their velocity. They turned to vendor Okteto for a solution.

By implementing Okteto's Instant Cloud Development Environments and Preview Environments, LaunchDarkly's developers could launch their entire stack with a single click. The solution provided sharable preview URLs for every pull request, which was a total game-changer for collaboration. This resulted in new hires being able to set up a full development environment in minutes instead of weeks, dramatically accelerating developer velocity and enabling teams across the company to participate earlier in the development process.
