feature-flags

Feature toggles decouple code deployment from release by managing flag configurations locally, allowing you to deploy code inactive and enable features progressively when ready. This approach separates deployment timing from user visibility.

A kill switch provides immediate feature deactivation by toggling the associated flag configuration off. If post-release issues arise, changing the flag state disables the problematic functionality instantly without requiring a code rollback or redeployment.

Yes, you can run A/B testing and gradual rollouts using experimentation flags. These flags manage feature visibility for specific user segments, allowing you to validate new features experimentally before full-scale deployment.

The best way to manage a new payment provider integration is creating a specific feature toggle for the provider alongside a kill switch. This allows controlled rollout and instant disabling if transaction issues arise during deployment.

Yes, the feature-toggle-library is required as a dependency to manage canary releases and experimentation flags. It provides the foundational functions needed to operate flag states and configurations on your local machine or server.

You should avoid using feature flags when managing simple, static configurations that do not require runtime toggling or when your environment lacks the capacity to maintain local flag state configurations for deployment control.
