From Concept to Cultural Revolution
by Ben Nadel
In my tenure as co-founder and principal engineer at InVision, I went from never having heard of "Feature Flags" (aka "feature toggles" aka "feature switches"); to seeing them become widely adopted by our engineering team; to witnessing a complete cultural revolution in regard to how our company approached product development. For me, feature flags are as transformational as databases—they are as important as both logs and metrics. I cannot imagine creating another product without them.
