How are you guys managing your feature flags? We Open Sourced our Feature Flag platform Bullet Train last year and would love any feedback you have.

Do you think its better to roll your own feature flag system or rely on a third party?

Haven't heard of Bullet Train, looks nice!

We use Flipper, which is open source: github.com/jnunemaker/flipper. We have a custom UI on top of it for administration.

I'd always use something open source or paid. Building one doesn't seem like a good use of time when there are so many great OSS ones out there.
