Thanks for the video! In my previous job, we used to have some "hidden" frontend features on production that would be enabled by passing some flags as query params in the URL. Not really dynamic, but it helped POs and managers test out future staff while on production.

That’s an interesting approach. Seems like a simple solution which meets your teams needs

This is actually very interesting, lately I've been looking for something like this and it feels like perfect timing, every time I'm trying to implement something to my project you go out with another video with the exact thing that I'm looking for. Keep up w the content Cody!

Good job babe!!!!! First!

@matt_woelfel Жыл бұрын

great video, do you think it'd ever get cumbersome managing more than a few feature flags? Or would you just remove the flag all together once everything is functioning reliably in prod?

@WebDevCody Жыл бұрын

You remove the flags at some when your app decides the feature is here to stay and it’s been turned on for everyone for a while.

Is this thing also called deployment patterns?

Maybe idk, I know the word canary releases is a deployment strategy

do you guys use a third party plartform to handle this or you implement it your self?

feature flags = commented code = trash in codebase

Feature flags are really troublesome and wouldn't recommend following that pattern

@WebDevCody Жыл бұрын

Why is that?

@Ca-rp7bv Жыл бұрын

Try to dev in big code base that is sensitive and being used by many users, troublesome will be to not have a fast kill switch or any way to compare your results and automations for features with bugs

@amgadtawfik7534 Жыл бұрын

@Web Dev Cody we use this pattern in one of the applications I am working on. This application is based on system events, so we have millions of transactions per day. When we experience any problem and we have 100s of feature toggles, tracing through all these toggles, Is really hectic.

@@amgadtawfik7534 why do you have 100 feature flags? You’re supposed to delete them after they are deployed for a couple of weeks
