• Statistically rigorous — sequential testing, CUPED and diagnostics are core, not add-ons.
• Metrics defined once in the warehouse and reused across every experiment.
• dbt integration fits existing analytics engineering workflows.

• Local evaluation means no user data leaves your infrastructure — a strong GDPR position.
• Mature, well-documented open-source core with no artificial crippling.
• Kubernetes and Terraform support for infrastructure-as-code workflows.

• Requires a warehouse and a data team; not usable by a product manager alone.
• Feature-flagging capability is lighter than dedicated flag platforms.
• Now part of Datadog, which changes the strategic picture.

• Experimentation and analytics are thin; it is a flag system first.
• Self-hosting means you own uptime for something in your request path.
• Smaller ecosystem than LaunchDarkly.

Data-mature organisations where experiment results must withstand scrutiny.

Privacy-sensitive or cost-sensitive teams that want flags without sending user data to a vendor.
