Flexible Infrastructure with Continuous Integration and Feature Flagging

What's this blog post about?

The text discusses the use of feature flags in managing infrastructure and handling issues in production. It highlights how LaunchDarkly's solutions engineer uses feature flagging to control the release of fixes and new features, as well as manage server load. A proof of concept using Python and RabbitMQ is presented, demonstrating how feature flags can be used to control the percentage of jobs done in a queue. The text also emphasizes the potential for LaunchDarkly's platform to serve as a control panel for managing app operations beyond simple percentage rollouts and canary releases.
