Questions
- Is there an open-source alternative to LaunchDarkly for Rails?
- Yes — Flipper. It mounts into an application you already run, so there is no second deployment and no second database.
- What do I give up by replacing LaunchDarkly?
- Enterprise governance: approval workflows, audit trails and scheduled rollouts.
- How do I replace LaunchDarkly in a Rails app?
- Add flipper to your Gemfile, mount it in config/routes.rb at /flipper, and run its migrations. The whole integration is two lines and a migration.
- How much does replacing LaunchDarkly save?
- LaunchDarkly is priced from $10/seat/mo. The engines here are open source, so the cost becomes the time to mount one and the resources it uses inside your existing application.
