Shift the Feedback Cycle Left With Feature Flags and Cloud Development Environments

In this blog post, Ramiro Berrelleza discusses how feature flags and Cloud Development Environments (CDEs) can be used together to enable feedback earlier in the development process. CDEs allow every team member to have their own copy of an application for testing and validation without being limited by local machine capabilities. By integrating feature flags with CDEs, developers can share previews of changes or improvements with a select group of reviewers at any stage of the development process. This approach allows more people to participate in the feedback cycle, including customers who may not be able to read code. Overall, this strategy helps improve software quality and customer satisfaction by allowing for more efficient testing and validation throughout the development lifecycle.
