The Craft of Open Source

OpenFeature

As simple as they seem, feature flags cannot be underestimated. The more you dive into what it offers, the more you realize how much it can clean up your code base. Mike Beamer and Todd Baert saw the value it could further provide and founded OpenFeature. OpenFeature is an open standard for feature flag management, created to support a robust feature flag ecosystem using cloud-native technologies. In this episode, they share with us the work they are doing as well as the genesis of OpenFeature as part of Dynatrace. Mike and Todd then talk about their vision, measuring their progress and success, and what they find exciting about open source projects. What is more, they discuss the diversity of the community in the open source space, highlighting the tremendous value in bringing passions, talents, and support together.
