DevCycle: Modern Feature Management
DevCycle is the first feature management platform with OpenFeature built in. We pair the reliability, scalability, and security of a managed service with freedom from vendor lock-in, helping developers ship faster with true OpenFeature-native feature flagging.
OpenFeature Multi-Provider: Enabling New Feature Flagging Use-Cases
Jonathan Norris (DevCycle CTO, CNCF OpenFeature Governance Board) discusses the new Multi-Provider capability in OpenFeature, demonstrating how to integrate multiple feature flag providers in a single application. He explains key integration strategies, migration use-cases, and shows how the evolving OpenFeature ecosystem enables flexibility and vendor-neutral feature flagging.
About This Video
In this CNCF Lightning Talk, Jonathan Norris—co-founder and CTO of DevCycle—introduces the OpenFeature Multi-Provider, a new tool that allows you to connect and coordinate multiple feature flag providers through the OpenFeature SDK. Viewers will learn how teams can use strategies to manage feature flags across different systems, enabling hybrid environments, vendor migrations, and improved interoperability between in-house and third-party solutions. Jonathan shares patterns for migrating between providers, using fallback strategies, and performing production-side value comparisons during big migrations.
You'll also discover how to create custom strategies for even more advanced use cases, ensuring your application's feature flagging remains flexible and robust. This talk is especially useful for architects, developers, and platform engineers who use feature flags at scale or face challenges with vendor lock-in.
Key Points
- How the OpenFeature Multi-Provider integrates several feature flag providers using strategies (first match, first successful, comparison, and custom).
- Real-world use cases including seamless provider migration, hybrid feature flag setups, and production verification of flag consistency.
- Step-by-step code-level demonstration and guidance on extending the Multi-Provider with your own logic.
