SRE goals align perfectly with robust feature delivery and experimentation, where every new feature gets tested, and releases happen behind feature flags.

Engineers are deploying half-finished features into production, and they’re doing it on purpose. They use feature flags to hide their partially completed work. You can too.

With feature flags, you can control the percentage allocation of users you want to be exposed to a specific feature. This process provides risk mitigation and confirms both usability and scalability. Canary releases, or controlled rollouts, serve as an added layer of protection in case something goes wrong.  What is…

Feature flagging is a technique development teams deploy to enable easy switches between codepaths in their systems, at runtime. In simpler terms, they’re control structures that toggle on and off the code inside them. Dev teams use feature flags for a wide variety of purposes, from canary releases to A/B…

Testing in production is becoming more and more common across tech. The most significant benefit is knowing that your features work in production before your users have access. With feature flags, you can safely deploy your code to production targeting only internal teammates, test the functionality, validate design and performance,…

The same tools and practices that make modern software delivery sustainable and efficient are what our organizations need to achieve greater adaptability.

Today we remember the release night.  We gather (virtually) today not to mourn the death of the release night, but to celebrate the inception of its replacement. Release nights were once a standard for software development teams to have a set date to release their software to their customers. In…
