GitBook switched from LaunchDarkly to Bucket to increase engineering velocity

Publish Date: Feb 13

Hello, world!

In a previous post, we talked about the differences between LaunchDarkly and Bucket.

TL,DR: LaunchDarkly is great for B2C companies. Bucket is for B2B SaaS products, like GitBook — a modern, AI-integrated documentation platform.

GitBook (10-30 people engineering team, venture-backed) powers 150K+ startups, enterprises, and open-source projects — including Linear, Raycast, and... Bucket! Their engineering team used LaunchDarkly for feature management and recently made the switch.

Why GitBook switched from LaunchDarkly to Bucket

Here's what Samy Pessé, co-founder of GitBook, thinks about us:

Opinionated software optimized for B2B SaaS

We switched from LaunchDarkly to Bucket to get feature management that is opinionated and optimized for shipping features to B2B SaaS customers.
The feedback collection in Bucket is a key feature we wanted to adopt to iterate on our product continuously.

Beautifully crafted and feature-rich

The quality of the product is outstanding. Bucket goes beyond simple feature flagging and empowers us with a complete feature delivery platform.

Wrapping up

Why did GitBook switch from LaunchDarkly to Bucket?

Because we're building opinionated software, beautifully crafted, feature-rich, and optimized for B2B SaaS.

That's it!
