Breaking up is(n't) hard to do
summary
Claims that decoupling release from deploy reduces risk and speeds delivery get proven: a git‑ops demo uses OpenFeature with a flagd sidecar and Kubernetes CRDs to flip a server‑side Fibonacci algorithm from slow recursive to fast Binet, cutting request time from ~4s to ~1s; UI color flags update via Argo CD and live events; instrumentation via OpenTelemetry traces shows which variant runs. One demo step fails (git sync hiccup) but core changes apply and telemetry works.
