Webinar: Using LaunchDarkly Feature Flags in AWS Serverless

In a recent webinar, Brian Rinaldi from LaunchDarkly and Welly Siauw from AWS discussed how developers can integrate feature flags into serverless applications to gain granular control over releases. They explained the concept of serverless technology, which allows developers to offload infrastructure management tasks and focus on application code. AWS Lambda, a compute service that enables running application functions without managing servers, was highlighted as part of this strategy. Combining feature flags with AWS Lambda can ensure operational consistency and reduce dependencies when releasing new features. Feature management involves separating the concepts of deployment and release, allowing developers to deploy code to production while wrapped in a flag for controlled activation. This separation minimizes risks associated with releases and enables safer testing in production. By integrating feature management into all layers of an application, serverless computing can improve the overall success of feature flag adoption across the entire application stack.
