Releasing code behind feature flags when much of the related functionality is incomplete can sometimes require creative solutions. For example, if some new...
With Flipper's new telemetry, we can see when a flag hasn't been requested in production (or any environment for that matter) for a long enough window that it's safe to remove. That creates a lot of peace of mind when cleaning up stale flags.
While feature flags are great for managing the roll out of customer-facing features, they're capable of so much more. We use feature flags internally in conjunction with performance and analytics tools.
Adding feature flags is easy but deleting them requires care and safety. We even mess it up. Before you delete a flag, you have to remove it from the code. If you don't remove it from the code, deleting a flag is the same as disabling it.
We're working on a ton of exciting stuff at Flipper, and we've been releasing updates at a feverish pace. Now we're getting close to releasing a wholly...

We have two new features for you this week. They've been a month in the making and we hope you enjoy them. Organization Permissions Paying Flipper Cloud...
Flipper Cloud now supports restricting who can enable, disable, or roll back feature flags in shared environments. That way nobody accidentally enables a flag in production prematurely.
Flipper Cloud customers now have a little more control over which organization members have access to which features. Organization members can be assigned a role of administrator, member, or billing. And even better, there's no charge for billing-only team members.
The use of feature flags for development and release process can provide multiple benefits that reduce risk related to new functionality or large releases.
You can now sign in to Flipper Cloud with your Google account. ` If you already have a Flipper Cloud account and want to connect your Google account, go to...
Despite carefully planning for some recent feature flag removals and triple-checking that the relevant flags were no longer present on our main branch, I still screwed it up.
