Coordinating Feature Flags Across Microservices

Feature flags are a software development process that uses switches or control features to toggle functions without needing code deployment. They enable testing and isolation of features before making them publicly available, allowing greater control over the development cycle. LaunchDarkly offers feature management tools for automation, analytics, and coordination of feature flags across diverse architectures. Proper feature management is crucial in microservice-based development to handle complex interconnected codes and varying code infrastructures. LaunchDarkly provides an SDK suite supporting major languages and frameworks, comprehensive feature management capabilities, and easy-to-use feature flags. Building a feature management solution from scratch can be resource-intensive and time-consuming compared to using an enterprise-proven system like LaunchDarkly.
