Feature Flags on AWS | AWS Events

Feature flagging is a powerful practice that allows you to decouple a software deployment from a release. By decoupling these events, you are able to reduce the risk of changes of software on production. Features and capabilities can be turned on and off, without deploying any code or restarting your application. You can also target specific flags to specific users, thus allowing you to run an A/B test on production to increase the confidence in your changes.

This technique typically results in an increase in deployment frequency, and reduction of time-to-resolution for emergent problems on production.
Teams in Amazon and AWS utilize feature flags at scale every hour, and have developed best practices in terms of the types of flags to use, and how they should be updated. Come learn these specific best practices that you can adopt on your teams.
