Feature Flag Introduction

When you deploy code to the production environment, the associated feature immediately becomes visible to users. Using Feature Flags, you can separate deployment from release to manage the entire lifecycle of a feature.

You can test features in the production environment by keeping them accessible only to designated individuals before showing them to all users.

Feature Flags are for teams like these!

• Product managers/PM/PO who want to release features gradually

• QA teams who want to test in a specific environment before feature release

• System administrators who want to manage and control system functionality by toggling specific features on and off

Feature Flags are most recommended for developers, but they are not for developers only.

Many other roles can make broad use of them as well.
