It’s easy to think of the user interface as the primary target for new functionality, with product teams eagerly watching important business metrics such as conversion rates and user engagement for improvements after each release. But behind the scenes, engineers are continually working on server-side innovations such as changes in… 3 min read

Canary releases and feature flag rollouts are two common feature release strategies for testing in production, increasing the safety of continuous delivery, deploying faster and more often. Both aim to reduce the “blast radius” of unforeseen problems and build confidence in a release. Both gradually expose new code to users… 3 min read

Product teams that don’t take into account a user communication and user feedback collection strategy as part of their experiments risk not getting enough data to evaluate results. This article walks through a couple key communication steps that products should follow to ensure effective and timely product experiments. 3 min read

Providing an always-on and highly secure feature flagging and experimentation platform is core to making product decisions with Split. From the beginning, we have designed and built our infrastructure and practices with security and reliability as a top priority and are excited to validate this with SOC 2 Type 2 certification. 3 min read

Announcing Split’s free Feature Flag Edition, a new offering which allows product and engineering teams to integrate enterprise-grade feature flags and feature flag management into their software development cycle at zero cost. Feature flags separate code deploy from feature release, safely executing continuous delivery at scale. 3 min read

GoodRx has selected Split’s unified feature flag and experimentation platform to drive innovation for their desktop and mobile application.

Available as Beta on Split’s Platform Edition as part of the Experiment package. With today’s release, you can now create a range of metrics from a single event, providing a deeper analysis of the results of your experiments. These additional insights into knowing how people are using your application is… 3 min read

We’re excited to announce the release of dynamic configurations. You will now be able to attach configurations to your treatments to instantly change components of your features without needing an engineer to make any code changes. 3 min read

Split’s goal is to power the world’s product decisions, so we are always looking for new ways to enable our customers to be more data-driven. We believe in the power of metrics and strive to make sure our users have a holistic view of their experiments’ impact. Split’s existing metrics… 3 min read

“We’re agile, so we don’t need a product roadmap.” In an increasingly agile world, I’ve heard this statement and variations of it time and time again. Organizations implementing agile methods often struggle to see how and where a long-term strategy fits in while working under a philosophy built on uncertainty.… 3 min read

Feature launches in leading engineering teams increasingly look like a ramp rather than a one time switch, going through dogfooding, debugging, max power ramp, scalability and learning phases. 3 min read

If your release train is moving slower than you would like, take a look at these three essential ingredients you should have. 3 min read

Kicking off an internally developed feature flagging system is standard practice for many companies today as feature flags help engineering teams release faster at lower risk. As use cases for feature flags grow, so do the challenges of building an in-house system. This article will explore 10 challenges of building an in-house feature flagging solution. 3 min read

This is one post in a series about managing the breakup of a monolithic architecture into a small service. In the first post of the series we looked at some fundamental techniques which allowed us to perform this sort of broad architectural shift as a series of small, safe steps. We started off… 3 min read

This blog posts describes the sequence of changes a team can use to extract a chunk of functionality out from a monolith while continuing to deliver features and functionality in parallel. 3 min read
