Gold-plated booleans-as-a-service

I’ve seen whole teams at companies set up fail to provide these booleans-as-a-service well. There are whole companies like LaunchDarkly for them.

If you boil it down to this, you may as well boil down every service that exists to bits-as-a-service.

Turns out theres legitimate business value in these things, and complexity in delivering them.

I don't mind it. I don't want to keep track of thousands of feature flags in my DB, have to create an admin dash, etc.

You could call any SaaS tool "excel-as-a-service" and it would hold the same power as your comment.

Getting those booleans to the right place at the right time reliably isn't trivial.
