Let's say you've just built a new feature, but it's not ready for a full release just yet. So, you decide to test it with a small group of people.

You can go about it in two ways - deterministic or random. The first way lets you specify people by name, email, company or any other attribute you know about them. The latter uses fancy math and probability to randomly assign users into groups. Let's see how you'd accomplish both using ConfigCat's feature flag services. For context, ConfigCat is a developer-centric feature flag service with unlimited team size, awesome support, and a reasonable price tag.

Separating your customers into distinct segments will help your product in all sorts of ways. It can help you track the usage of your app in a more meaningful and granular way. It can also reveal how specifically different segments behave differently, which will help you prioritize future feature development as well as focus your marketing efforts.
