Knowing what your customers expect is one of the most difficult challenges when developing a product. Your team may prefer a particular color scheme, whereas your customers may prefer a different one. Fortunately, even if you're updating as you go, you don't have to read customers’ minds.

Including A/B testing in your development process can help you ensure that you're always in sync with your customers and never have to second-guess your decisions. Furthermore, it is simple and inexpensive, and it has the potential to significantly improve the success of your work.

In the ever-changing world of programming, it can be difficult to keep up to date with all the latest technologies and frameworks. There's always something newer and cooler that you simply must try.

In this article, I'll guide you through the process of dipping your toes into the .NET MAUI framework and incorporating feature flags along the way. If you're already a seasoned .NET developer, this tutorial might reveal a couple of things you didn't know about feature flags, so don't hesitate to read on.

Sending your code out into the world can be a nerve-wracking experience. Regardless of how much testing you do beforehand, you’re never quite sure if everything will work according to plan. Even if it’s the case, during an applications life-time, you’ll need to redeploy your code many times. Code redeployment means time, money and a lot of hassle.

Fortunately, feature flags are useful tools that can help reduce the need for code redeployment as well as enable you to test your changes in production without affecting the end-user. In this article, I’ll show you how to make use of feature toggles in a React-like framework. So…

Got some free time on your hands? Got you covered!

I'm going to show you a more peculiar way of using feature flags. Feature flags enable non-developers to switch on and off application features or change software configuration.

Following this step-by-step tutorial, you'll build a remote light switch using a Raspberry Pi and ConfigCat’s feature flag tools in no time. Let’s get started!

By now, you’re probably well-acquainted with the suite of useful feature flag tools offered by ConfigCat. In case you aren't, ConfigCat is a developer-centric feature flag service with unlimited team size, awesome support, and a reasonable price tag. Let's play it safe and discuss 3 cool things that ConfigCat allows you to do – which we bet you didn’t know about! I’ll cover:

• Purchasing a ConfigCat subscription for someone else
• Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in ConfigCat
• Getting a free feature flag pack for students

Let’s get started!

If you’ve been reading about feature flags then I’m sure you’re convinced of the power and value they provide. Since development is mostly a team effort, you may be wondering how to manage a feature flag within a team, regardless of size, so one developer’s work doesn’t affect another’s. Well, in this article, we discuss exactly this issue and offer two solutions, depending on the size of your team.

Picture this: You’ve added a new feature to your software, linked it to a feature flag, and deployed it to production. Now, you’d like to enable this feature for a subset of your users to get their feedback before you take the leap and roll it out to everyone.

But who gets to see this new feature first? How do you choose the first user segment? How do you use feature flag rules to target them?

Good to know: Feature flags let you launch new features and change your software configuration without (re)deploying code.

Let’s look at some typical real-world examples of how you can do canary releases using ConfigCat.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past two years, chances are you’re well-acquainted with today’s hybrid work environment and the tools that come with the territory. Platforms such as Jira, Trello and Slack are well established as tools that enable high-level remote collaboration and task management. ConfigCat provides straightforward integrations with Jira, Trello, and Slack that allow for higher visibility and easier, more convenient feature flag management. In this blog, I’ll go through these feature flag devices one by one, outlining their functionality and how to integrate them.

Java is one of the most widely used programming languages. Whether you've used it, know someone who has, studied it in university, or despise it, it's no surprise that many software products are developed in Java. So, keep reading if you want to learn how to quickly enable features in Java, with no redeployment and no fuss.
