You might be using feature flipping in your projects and consider this technique indispensable. However, developers often face frustration when managing the myriad combinations of feature flips, especially as projects evolve. This complexity can make feature flipping hard to maintain and even hated by developers. The code is full with invasive if/else statements, with no time to clean up obsolete feature flips.
In this talk, I will present alternatives to traditional feature flipping. Depending on the context, we will explore solutions involving work organization, prioritization, and design techniques such as legacy management strategies (e.g., the strangler application pattern or branch by abstraction), circuit breakers, and even Domain-Driven Design.
