HN discussionWe used to have our own feature flag library built by our CTO as well! We (thredUP) recently switched to Split ( http://www.split.io/ ) and it's been incredibly helpful for our team of 25 engineers. Slow controlled roll-outs, short circuit broken features without a deploy through their dashboard, and we actually use them for A/B tests as well since they have an impression data pipeline and A/B tests are so similar t…

HN discussionSelenium tests are just generally a pain - even when written manually I've seen these fail more often from structural changes to the code rather than actual breakages. I might be biased, but QA in Production [1] is my preferred approach now that we have great rollout systems [2][3] and ways to do verification testing in production [4].

HN discussionThey can be all kinds of things, at its most basic, its just a way to put features behind some kind of toggle, that are only shipped or enabled if something is determined to be toggled as "on". For example, you can use `#ifdef` in some languages like C#, C++ and C to provide features based on platforms and/or language versions, so builds only contain code when those statements are true. With things like esbuild, web…

HN discussionIt's great to see companies building this category of products once they reach a certain scale where customer experience matters. Gatekeeper from Facebook, LiX from LinkedIn (where I am from), and now you guys. I really like the way Stormcrow taps into data on Hive to enable richer targeting. Any plans on tying Stormcrow to analytics? Btw, I wrote a quick post based on this trend: http://www.split.io/blog/dropboxs-s…

HN discussionHey. Disclaimer: Co-founder of http://www.split.io here. We built libraries like this before at previous jobs and now created Split to solve these type of problems and more. I can share some insights below of things we ran into while developing such libraries. Libraries should be optimized to avoid network calls as much as possible. Using local or external caches like Redis, CDNs, etc, and leveraging protocols like…
