Turn Me On With Cloud-Native Feature Flags!
summary
Open Feature provides a vendor-agnostic API and a Kubernetes-native path: a lightweight FlagD sidecar binary plus an OpenFeature Operator that injects it via a mutating webhook and CRD, using a shared informer for fast updates. Demos show FlagD evaluating percentiles and variants, the operator mutating pods to mount the sidecar, and a Watchman admission controller that successfully blocks pod creation when a flag flips. Some live demo steps fail due to networking, but Watchman and FlagD integrations work end to end.
