Agree with this strongly. Weekly releases reduce efficiency and lead to more complex production issues as you work to unpack which part of the batch of things you just deployed is causing a problem.
Use feature flags to decouple Deployment from Release and you’re fine.
- Gigachad 4y agoFeature flags are good but I hate how they enable weird customer specific workflows. Imo the mindset should be that all feature flags will eventually be removed when testing is finished. But management sees the capability and says add a flag for customer Y that changes how this page works.
- brightball 4y agoAgreed. IMO the best approach is a flag that can let you enable for specific customers (alpha or internal sample customers), all beta customers and then all customers. And after it’s enabled for everybody, remove the flag.
