In monolithic applications, every change requires redeploying the entire system. Now, imagine pushing a payment processing update to your e-commerce platform during peak traffic. A bug slips through. You deploy a fix. That fix introduces another issue. Suddenly, you're rolling back the whole application under pressure.

Microservices reduce that blast radius by breaking systems into smaller, independently deployable services. When you combine microservices with feature flags, you gain something even more powerful: the ability to change production behavior without redeploying code. If one service misbehaves, you don't redeploy. You disable the feature. You stabilize and fix forward. That level of runtime control is what makes feature flags essential in distributed systems.

In this guide, we'll explore how feature flags work in microservices and serverless architectures, and walk through a practical example using AWS Lambda, .NET, Redis, and ConfigCat.

In this post, I'll investigate integrating ConfigCat's feature management system with an ASP.NET Core 8 Web API Service and the Options<T> pattern. We'll also leverage the built-in polling mechanism of the ConfigCat client library to refresh feature flags' states during the application's runtime. Let's get started!

Improving your digital product over time is a sure way to keep your target audience engaged and your business running smoothly. Rewarding specific users, such as loyal customers, can be an effective way of increasing customer loyalty and brand recognition.

In this article, I’m exploring how feature flags can be used in a C#10 console application for simple user targeting and feature management, while walking you through an easy-to-reproduce example.

With a well-implemented feature flagging solution in place, your end users' experience should not be interrupted during feature rollouts. If unforeseen bugs are later discovered in the new feature, you should be able to easily roll it back without redeploying your application. In my opinion, feature flags are most useful in situations like these and are becoming quite popular in the software industry for releasing and controlling existing features throughout many applications. Because of their flexible nature, feature flags can be integrated and used alongside existing technologies to enhance day-to-day operations.

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.

Many people think of the Internet as a place where they can find information or communicate with others. However, the Internet is far more than that, it is also growing with its capabilities. Holding data resources that support the lives of billions of people around the world.

One way to transfer data on this great thing we call the Internet, while having a good development pipeline and maintaining security, is to construct a Web API.

Autumn of 2021 saw the release of the newest .NET version, .NET6. This new release brought some updates that could potentially make a developer’s life easier, such as improved performance and a simpler development process. With less code to write and productivity tools like hot reloading, the new .NET was quickly adopted by developers all over the world.

Even before the new release, .NET had a wide range of utilities and has risen to become of the most popular frameworks available. Whether you’re migrating from an older version or just getting started on a new project, you may be wondering what feature management solutions are available to you. I wondered as well, so in this tutorial, I’ll go over one of the best - using feature flags.
