Feature flags give software organizations the power to reduce risk, iterate more quickly, and gain more control. This practical ebook explains how feature flags let you decouple feature rollout from code deployment—so you can control who sees what when, independent of release.
John Kodumal, cofounder and CTO of the leading feature management platform LaunchDarkly, shows you how feature flags fit into your process, including how to combine them with blue-green deployments and branching. Ideal for developers, ops personnel, designers, product managers, and marketers, this guide teaches you how feature flags can unlock the true power of your software and enable you to deliver better results for your customers.
You’ll learn:
* How feature flags provide a decision point in your code that can change the behavior of your application * Feature management use cases, including progressive delivery, infrastructure migrations, and experimentation and testing * Best practices for incorporating feature management into your development process * Requirements and considerations for selecting an enterprise-grade feature management platform * How companies already using feature flags can apply advanced use cases, such as database migration
This is essentially an ad for LaunchDarkly. All the same, it is still a relevant, concise overview of the different benefits and uses of feature flags.
A free book (well you need to put in an email address/name - no verification). Written by the company launchdarkly - pretty much an explanation of why they are needed in the software universe The short book explains what most engineers already know, but it is a nice refresher. Explaining what what feature flags (a few kind: skill switch, A/B testing, different user permissions) and why they are important.
Un muy buen libro y muy corto, que da una muy buena descripcion de como podrian o deberian funcionar los toggles para releases o liberaciones controladas y asi habilitar pruebas. Un tema que aun es considerado obscuro por la mayoria pero que los grandes ya estan aprovechando casi al maximo.
Lectura recomendadisima para cualquier ingeniero de IT.
