Skip the Deployment Queue: Automated Rollouts and Rollbacks Using OpenFeature
Talkat OpenFeature Summit NA 2025 · on Monday, 2025-11-10· at 16:35· Building B | Level 2 | B213-214·
summary
Demo builds an app that uses OpenFeature SDK to evaluate flags from a LaunchDarkly provider, emits flag evaluation events via OpenTelemetry tracing hooks to a SigNoz backend, and drives traffic with a 1,000 requests/min load generator while injecting ~30% failures. Claim is automated progressive rollouts and instant rollback without new deployments via metric-driven webhooks; the live demo shows traces and 66 errors in 5 minutes but the alert-to-webhook rollback fails due to misconfigured alerts.
