"Managing Feature Flags with Flipt"
"Managing Feature Flags with Flipt" is the definitive guide for modern engineering teams seeking to master the art and science of feature flagging in dynamic, large-scale environments. This comprehensive book journeys from foundational principles—such as flag taxonomy, classification, and progressive delivery workflows—to advanced concepts like operational risk mitigation, multi-tenancy, and legal compliance. Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of both the promise and the pitfalls of feature flag strategies, including real-world anti-patterns and best-practice solutions for maintaining a healthy, scalable codebase.
At the heart of the book is an in-depth exploration of Flipt, an enterprise-grade, open-source feature flag solution. The book meticulously details Flipt's architecture—stateless core, persistence models, pluggable APIs, and robust security controls—while offering practical guidance on integrating Flipt into diverse software delivery pipelines. Topics such as deployment patterns for high availability, disaster recovery, audit logging, and policy-driven governance are paired with hands-on advice for operators and developers alike. Whether deploying to Kubernetes clusters or securing audit trails for regulatory environments, readers will discover actionable techniques to operationalize feature flags with confidence.
The book concludes with a forward-looking lens into evolving trends, including edge compute, machine learning-driven experimentation, and interoperability across platforms and ecosystems. By combining strategic blueprints, technical patterns, and organizational practices, "Managing Feature Flags with Flipt" empowers teams to unlock safer, faster, and more resilient product delivery. Whether you are modernizing a legacy system or building a cloud-native application from scratch, this book is your essential resource for leveraging the full potential of feature flag management with Flipt.
