Dive into the world of feature toggles (also known as feature flags) in this comprehensive tutorial. Explore the fundamentals of feature toggles, their applications, and how they can enhance your development team's workflow to accelerate delivery times. Begin with an insightful interview featuring Ivar Østhus, founder of Unleash, an open-source feature toggle system. Progress through basic use cases and learn to set up Unleash open source for advanced scenarios. Cover topics such as basic implementation, potential pitfalls, external configuration, vendor options, and Unleash architecture. Gain hands-on experience by setting up Unleash with Docker, creating API keys, and implementing toggles in real applications. Delve into advanced concepts like stickiness, context, segmentation strategies, experimentation, and variants. Conclude by addressing technical debt and cleanup strategies for feature toggles, equipping you with the knowledge to effectively integrate this powerful tool into your software development process.
