Slow controlled roll-outs, short circuit broken features without a deploy through their dashboard, and we actually use them for A/B tests as well since they have an impression data pipeline and A/B tests are so similar to feature flagging. Definitely one of the smartest "buys" we've made in our last 4-5 "buy vs. build" discussions.

we implemented most of LD in a 24-hour quarterly hackathon we hold
What's the breakdown of 'most' vs the remaining? 80/20? Alternatively, if 'most' was implemented in 24 hours, how long would it take to implement the rest?
From these two statements, I get the impression that either
