3 Ways to Avoid Technical Debt when Feature Flagging

What's this blog post about?

Feature flags are a technique used by software organizations to control feature visibility and manage releases. However, they can accumulate technical debt if not managed properly. To avoid this, create a central repository for all feature flags, use clear and unambiguous names for them, and have a plan in place for flag removal once their purpose is served. This helps maintain system integrity while allowing flexibility in managing features.
