Feature Flags

Configuration mechanism allowing features to be toggled on/off in production without code deploys.

Feature flags (also feature toggles or feature switches) are a configuration mechanism that decouples feature deployment from feature release. Code with new features ships to production behind flags that default off; flags are flipped on for specific users, percentages, or audiences. Benefits: trunk-based development, safer releases, gradual rollouts, rapid rollback, A/B testing infrastructure. Major platforms include LaunchDarkly, Statsig, Unleash, GrowthBook (open source). Empire325 implements feature-flag infrastructure as a default component for any application requiring continuous deployment, A/B testing, or progressive rollout.
