[Hebrew] Features Flags at scale / Fabio Ferman @ Duda

Feature flags are an important pattern to gate access to new features, perform gradual rollouts and control who can access what.

In this session, we will describe how evolved from a primitive file-based feature flag mechanism that required a deploy and code change for each flag change to a full self service solution, used not only by devs, but product managers and account managers.

We will present our evolution until it’s current state - a fault tolerant, performant and cacheable solution, using custom built SDK (in Java, of course) used in all micro services, enabling developers to move faster and safer by using feature flags to every code change and adopting trunk-based development principles.

We will also cover how we automatically identify which flags can be removed and how to spot flag configuration issues in production.
