At Dynatrace, feature flags have been integral to our workflows for years. However, our homegrown solution has increasingly become a fragmented collection of flags rather than a comprehensive management tool. This has led to challenges such as unclear use cases, legacy flags with unknown or unintended uses, and complexity compounded by team transitions and shifting assignments.
To address these issues, we embraced OpenFeature to standardize and enhance feature flag observability—not just for our benefit but for the broader developer community. By integrating OpenFeature with OpenTelemetry, our Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) now have actionable insights, enabling them to confidently assess potential impacts and side effects across our systems.
Join us as we share our journey with OpenFeature at Dynatrace and how it’s transforming the way we manage feature flags.
