The challenge

Hireology faced a cumbersome legacy-migration process, slow deployment velocity of two releases a month, a high change-failure rate with frequent rollbacks, and manual QA across more than ten separate environments.

The solution

Hireology adopted LaunchDarkly feature flags with custom contexts and workflows, consolidating QA from ten environments to one and enabling safer, on-demand deployment.

“We're using it everywhere. Frontend, backend, mobile app—all the places.”
