Feature toggles: ask us anything
summary
Live Q&A covers practical feature-toggle work: taxonomy (release, experimental, ops, permission), concrete tooling like LaunchDarkly and declaring toggles in infra via Terraform, and real failure stories (one org with ~55 pre‑toggled features, multiple incidents where sales flipped toggles and broke production). Patterns include trunk‑based dev, TDD, making toggle removal part of DoD, and database migration strategies; special cautions for mobile because of mobile long‑tail versions. Advice is hands‑on and anti‑pattern focused, not just theory.
