Staging Servers Must Die
- pedalpete 11y agoI think I disagree with this, but I'm not completely sure. If everything is going to micro-services, don't we want to move staging from a monolith to staging the services? Than we test against a staged service and push to production. With so many moving parts, it seems to me going straight from QA to production could still lead to problems.
- mauricesvay 11y agoThe article is certainly biased (the author works for a company that does feature flags as a service). I don't see how feature flags help when there's breaking changes (like data migration). Also deploying to production directly makes features that destroy data even more dangerous.
- ajsouza 11y agoYes, for the life of me I could not see how every scenario you use staging for could simply be "wrapped" in a feature flag. That said, I do like the idea of feature flags and think it could be an extra tool for safe releases.
