The wait is over! We are excited to announce the winners of the DevCycle Feature Flag Challenge.
From utilizing feature flags for gradual data migrations to creating delightful game and shopping experiences, it was clear everyone took our prompt to heart and rose to the occasion. We loved reviewing each submission and had lots to deliberate over as we selected our final winners.
As it goes with all challenges, only a few members will take home the prize. Regardless of whether or not you won, we hope you had fun stretching your creativity and building with DevCycle!
Congratulations To…
