That works for simple on off flags that can wait for a deploy to change. Adding rules on top of that become complex

- phyrex 3y agoNo, the deploy mechanism is separate from a code deploy. The rules themselves can get very complex and are distributed in the same way
- malfist 3y agoInteresting, I'd like to know more. Is it home grown? Or do you use something COTS?
- phyrex 3y agoIt's homegrown. This paper talks about it: https://research.facebook.com/file/877841159827226/holistic-configuration-management-at-facebook.pdf https://research.facebook.com/file/877841159827226/holistic-... It also mentions Gatekeeper, which is the rule-based engine I mentioned built on top of it, but there are other feature flag solutions that use configerator for different use cases like killswitches or gradual rollout.
- malfist 3y agoThank you for that!
