Comment on Ask HN: Do you use a feature flag system? What does it look like?

Comments

Feature bits in shared memory and if accessed less frequently in redis is a staple solution. The system I used was managed by an internal group had a solid api, life cycle management, plus propagation of flags wuth defaults. It worked at serious scale. New code could be enabled and disabled independent of code. Removal of code and deletion of old code paths lagged by devs, but on the whole it served custs well.
