Flagsmith

Feature flags help lots of teams move from a monolithic architecture to microservices. This article by Kayode Adeniyi and LogRocket is a how-to guide for decoupling a monolithic application with feature flags. It covers: → Building a monolithic Node.js backend → Decoupling it into microservices → Transitioning API requests from the monolith to microservices using feature flagging in a local environment #microservices #monolith #nodejs #softwaredevelopment #featureflags https://lnkd.in/exWQ8cyj

👀 ICYMI you can still check out the webinar we did with Cycloid - Sustainable Platform Engineering. Matthew Elwell and Rob Gillam cover technical considerations for feature flags and how slower-moving orgs are moving from legacy infrastructure/platforms, along with some best practices and real-life case studies. Plus, don't miss the 🔥 Q&A at the end! https://lnkd.in/ga5mdW2C #flagsmith #featureflags #opensource #cycloid #platformengineering

Exciting News from Civo Marketplace! We're thrilled to announce a new addition to the Civo Marketplace: Flagsmith! Flagsmith is an innovative feature flag tool that enables seamless feature management across web, mobile, and server-side applications. With Flagsmith, you can control the rollout of new features, conduct A/B testing, and make your development process more agile and efficient. Join us for our upcoming meetup on the 17th of Jiuly, where we'll go live with the Co-Founder of Flagsmith. We'll dive deep into how Feature Flags and OpenFeature can elevate your next project to new heights. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from the experts and take your development skills to the next level.

We're taking a stroll down memory lane and looking back at what we’ve released so far this year, as well as dusting off our crystal ball to give you a sneak peek of what’s coming! 🔮 Some new and notables include: 💫 Integrations with Grafana Labs and GitHub 💫 Improvements to our local evaluation engine, which includes identity overrides in the evaluation 💫 Custom Fields 💫 Roles https://lnkd.in/d7-trHsc #flagsmith #featureflags #opensource #featureroundup

This weekend's outage was crazy because of how preventable it was. Feature flags can stop things like this from happening in a couple of really simple ways. 1. Kill switches. Put the feature behind a feature flag that lets your product team quickly shut off a feature when you notice an issue. 2. Canary releases. This is what we’d recommend in situations like the CrowdStrike one. Instead of rolling out the feature to all Windows machines, do a progressive delivery that targets a percentage of users. Connect the feature flag data with observability tools to see how it’s performing in production before deciding if you increase the percentage or not. If something does go wrong, tools like Dynatrace and Grafana Labs can show which machines are impacted (Dynatrace have written about how to do this) With feature flags, stuff like this becomes really simple. There’s lots of talk about this right now. If you have questions DM me or anyone at Flagsmith #CrowdStrike #featureflags #observability #canaryrelease

Focus on the customer, not the next round. ^ This is one of the biggest reasons we bootstrap. On the VC track, you naturally have to focus on the company’s next raise. Bootstrapping lets you focus on users first. There are pros and cons to both tracks. With external capital growth can rocket, but much of the focus is set externally. e.g. On things like: - Hiring (and the opposite if things don't look good) - Hitting board-driven revenue milestones - Building in the board's direction - Getting more customers fast - Increasing LTVs We’re bootstrapping Flagsmith and it's stable and sustainable, so we don't have an absolute mandate to hit an external revenue goal. Budget constraints are tough, but we can do things like: - Building what users actually want - Pivoting when people request things - Keeping pricing fair (upselling or hiking prices are grim) It feels good to build around what people want, rather than building around revenue goals.

Flagsmith now integrates with Grafana Labs AND GitHub, bringing you closer to an open source stack. Send feature flag data to the tools you're already using so you don't have to go dark when you're working in open source/other tools in your stack. As an open source team, it's really exciting to build integrations with other open source tools our developers use every day. This is Kim talking about the Grafana integration and how to send feature flag change events from Flagsmith into Grafana as annotations. (Giving you valuable insight from existing dashboards - be it for performance, stability, or product metrics.) #opensource #softwaredevelopment #grafana #github #observability #softwareengineer #buildinpublic

New open source podcast episode! This one covers things like the differences between Linux and the FreeBSD operating system. Ben Rometsch sits down with Deb Goodkin from the FreeBSD Foundation to talk. e.g. They discuss licensing around the source code. Flagsmith uses a BSD license, and Deb covers the differences between the BSD license and the GPL license that the Linux kernel is licensed under. Deb also chats about how major companies like Netflix use BSD to achieve data rates of 800 and 900 gigabits per second from one server. (Meaning that as a viewer, you're able to stream without seeing any slowness.)
