Episode description
Feature Flagging - some may call them "glorified if-statements" - has been a development practice for decades. But have we reached a stage where organizations are doing "Feature Flag-Driven Development?". After all it took years to establish a test-driven development culture despite having great tools and frameworks available!
To learn more we invited Ben Rometsch, Co-Founder of Flagsmith, to chat about the history, state and future of Feature Flagging. He is giving us an update on where the market is heading, how the CNCF project OpenFeature and its community is driving best practices, what the role of AI might be and what he thinks might be next!
