Manufacturing Feature Flags: Build vs. Buy...and Duct Tape

Feature management systems can become complex quickly when built from scratch, taking away focus from innovation and smooth application operation. Many teams use feature flagging but end up stitching together solutions that become unmanageable. Building a feature flagging system involves handling various configurations, targeting specific contexts, managing global reach, and implementing release strategies. Consuming these capabilities from a dedicated platform like LaunchDarkly can save time and resources while ensuring optimal user experiences.
