Would appreciate an honest feedback on my feature flags SaaS
Hi Indie Hackers,
I’ve created a feature flag management SaaS which can help development teams or sole developers to have a full control when rolling out a new feature.
A feature flag is basically an ON | OFF switch for a specific feature. It can be used to mitigate the risk of deploying a new feature. If something goes wrong feature can be turned off without the need to re-deploy, rollback or hotfix. Also feature can be rolled out to specific countries.
I would really appreciate your feedback guys!
Congrats! We use config files or local db tables. Will this require a call to your site on every page that has a flag or is this just a deploy only check?
Also one spelling mistake...
A new feature behind inactive flag is a good way to regularly merge into master brunch {branch not brunch}.
Hi Matt,
Thanks for checking it out!
Every page that has a flag has to make a call to my API. The API is hosted on Azure Cloud and has a response time of about 100-500 ms and scales automatically. This approach gives you ability to turn ON | OFF your flag at run time.
Cheers,
Peter

Hi!
Everything looks great, really! I think you miss one important feature - history of changing the flag. My point is that it's important to know if flag was enabled or disabled in time especially if someone report a bug.
Good Luck! 👍
Thanks Michael, that's a good point I haven't thought about that. I will be definitely looking into adding this feature soon.
Cheers,
Peter
