What is Feature Flags?
Switches that let you turn features on or off without deploying new code
Why It Matters
Feature flags let you release features gradually, test with specific users, or quickly disable problematic features
Real-World Example
Rolling out a new checkout process to 10% of users first to make sure it works well
“Understanding terms like Feature Flags matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
From definition to deployment
Knowing the term is step one. Using it in something real is the rest.
