As an aside, those “feature flags as a service” tools have some neat features, but are just way too expensive for what most apps probably need: simple binary flags that can change at runtime.

Example: just use a database table. Query and cache in memory for 60s. If you want, build a simple internal web page or tool to toggle flags. This works, and scales (from experience).

Do many apps really need A/B testing or segmented rollout? Maybe, but probably not.
