In a world where every business is essentially a software company, why wouldn’t everyone need a way to make safe and reliable changes to their software? If “feature flags” or “feature toggles” or “gatekeepers” are a proven method used by Facebook or Twitter, why on earth isn’t everyone doing it - or, at least, trying to do it?
The concept of feature flagging is relatively old, but not standardized in the community, and there are some misconceptions about this practice. Over time, I’ve learned to separate facts from fiction.
