Pete Hodgson leads you on a journey with a dev team as they adopt feature toggles, covering what they are, why they’re helpful, and how to use them successfully. Along the way, you’ll discover that feature toggles cover a broader set of use cases than you might initially think. You’ll also create a categorization scheme for different types of toggles and learn why it’s important to manage the various types of toggles in different ways, even if they share a common underlying implementation. Pete discusses different ways to store toggle configuration and shares some pro tips on how to succeed with feature toggles and how to prevent them from getting out of control.
