Feature Flags Book: Ownership Boundaries

By
Published in

Feature flags are an implementation detail for engineering teams. As such, each feature flag belongs to the engineering team that created it. If we were talking about any other low-level algorithmic decision, this sense of ownership would be self-evident; and, we wouldn't need to have this discussion. However, since feature flags can be both observed and configured outside of the application itself, it's easy for people to misunderstand where the boundaries must be drawn.


In 2023, I published a book titled, "Feature Flags: Transform Your Product Development Workflow". This book contains everything that I've learned over the last 7 years about integrating feature flags into my product development. But, a static book can only take you so far. In an effort to make the book more interactive, I've created a series of blog posts—one per chapter—that provide a place in which the readers and I can discuss the content. You can purchase the book and / or read a preview of each chapter on the book's mini-site. Feel free to leave a question or a comment down below.

I believe in love. I believe in compassion. I believe in human rights. I believe that we can afford to give more of these gifts to the world around us because it costs us nothing to be decent and kind and understanding. And, I want you to know that when you land on this site, you are accepted for who you are, no matter how you identify, what truths you live, or whatever kind of goofy shit makes you feel alive! Rock on with your bad self!
