Trajectory Nano Series Week 3 of 4: Shipping and Learning Fast via Feature Flags

Feature flags are a great way to enhance the speed with which you can collaborate with colleagues, develop in production, and also learn from real-world usage.

I’ll talk about how we’ve unlocked the ability to use production to safeguard production at GitHub - as counter intuitive as that might sound!

Speaker: Dr. Claire Knight, Senior Engineering Manager at Github
Host: Yoz Grahame, Developer Advocate at LaunchDarkly
