Overall Satisfaction with Optimizely Feature Experimentation
We are able to dynamically enable and disable features (if needed, conditionally) on the website through the Optimizely Feature Experimentation interface. It makes sure we can toggle fast, without having to redeploy the application. This removes tight coupling with backend deployment schedules, and also serves as a good form of risk management. Combining a feature with a testing audience allows us to test features on production, too.
Pros
- fast deployment of configuration changes
- plenty of configuration options for various use cases
- good interface
Cons
- Optimizely Feature Experimentation script may not always be loaded (ad blockers?), which should be taken into account
- Time to market increases, as code can be merged even though a feature is not yet supposed to be activated
- Better risk management, as feature rollouts can easily be rolled back
- Canary testing, by opening up a feature to a small audience
