Overcoming the Fears of Perpetual App Modernization

What's this blog post about?

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the need for businesses to undergo digital transformation efforts, including updating architecture and infrastructure. Modernization is not a one-time endeavor but an ongoing process that requires constant evolution. Companies often avoid large-scale migrations due to potential risks such as data loss, performance issues, and unexpected challenges. However, using feature flags can help mitigate these risks by allowing for strategic rollouts of new systems and gradual shifts from legacy platforms. Feature flags also unlock benefits like progressive rollouts, improved visibility, and limited impact on users during migration processes.
