My team has this one shared component that gets involved in like every feature’s development. This year, we’re loading like 5 different features onto it, all with different timelines, and my head’s about to explode trying to figure out how to make it all fly.
How does everyone else do their software releases? Do you freeze prod and then do one big release later? Throw everything into prod during dev, hope no one sees the unreleased stuff, and just announce it later? Or something else entirely?
Why not? How do your feature flags work?
Our flags are dynamic. Service basically reads them from an env var at runtime to determine if requests go through.
Security, at my place at least, has been very conservative about not launching stuff into prod until they’ve pentested in our test stage which has kinda forced us to do waterfall :|
