21 Things You Can Do with Feature Flags in 2021

In 2021, while many people are still spending time at home due to the pandemic, it's a great opportunity for experimentation and continuous learning. One useful tool is feature flags, which can be used in various ways such as deploying your first flag, conducting canary tests, configuring triggers with observability and alerting tools, offering self-provisioning to sales engineers, setting up approval workflows, scheduling automated changes, configuring load shedding, running experiments, testing in production, migrating from on-prem to the cloud, setting up circuit breakers, streaming raw event data into a data warehouse, rate limiting APIs, assigning tickets based on support engineers' capacity, managing entitlements, integrating feature flags with other tools, running chaos experiments, managing alternate process flow, managing your beta program, running user testing with target candidates on live prototypes, and more. By effectively using feature flags, one can reduce risk, iterate faster, and gain more control in their development cycles.
