@odolbeau & @genes0r Lots of projects...

@odolbeau & @genes0r A lot of features to test.

@odolbeau & @genes0r Deploying big features is too risky. It can’t be done for everyone at the same time anymore.

@odolbeau & @genes0r It’s not always our fault!

@odolbeau & @genes0r Medias

@odolbeau & @genes0r Angry ops.

@odolbeau & @genes0r An angry ops is too dangerous! We need to find a solution to maintain the website up even when the traffic is high.

@odolbeau & @genes0r Let’s define our needs.

@odolbeau & @genes0r Deactivate a feature in production

@odolbeau & @genes0r Activate a feature

@odolbeau & @genes0r A 'Feature Flag' (or Feature Toggle) is the ability to turn features (sub- sections) of your application on/off at a moments notice. Wikipedia

@odolbeau & @genes0r What do we need? • a storage to store all feature flags and their rules • a admin interface to create / update / delete features flags • a PHP library to use in our application
