Service meshes and OpenFeature can both handle canary and progressive rollouts. Both let you reduce risk when shipping change. The approaches differ a lot, though, and since we keep getting asked about this, it's time to tackle it.
We want to be honest here. Our goal is to show the different approaches and where each one outshines the other.
I’m excited to share this collaborative guide from Flagsmith (featuring insights from OpenFeature & eBay) on how to scale feature flags while fighting vendor lock-in!
We're excited to announce that Sentry has released OpenFeature Hooks for JavaScript and Python, enabling developers to track feature flag evaluations directly in their error monitoring and performance tracking.
Most feature flag explainers begin by explaining that feature flags are equivalent to environment variables.
While that’s true (to a point), feature flags wouldn’t be as versatile or as popular as they are, if that’s all they were. Indeed, you wouldn’t need a feature flag – you could easily achieve the same thing with an environment variable.
