𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁:

Feature Management (also called Feature Flags) is a way to turn features ON or OFF in your application without deploying new code. This helps teams manage features in a safer and faster way.

𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀:

• You can 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘆 before everyone sees them.
• You can 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽𝘀 (like internal teams or beta testers).
• You can 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 if there’s a problem.
• You can 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 by turning off unfinished features.

𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲:

Let’s say you are building a new checkout system. It’s not ready for all users yet.

With Feature Management, you can do this:

if (await _featureManager.IsEnabledAsync("NewCheckout"))
{
// Show the new checkout system
}
else
{
// Keep using the old checkout process
}

You control this setting from appsettings.json or Azure App Configuration, without changing the code again.

• 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Work on features without affecting production.
• 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Test with real users before full rollout.
• 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: No need to remove unfinished code before a release.
