This course teaches learners why and how to incorporate feature toggles (feature flags) into their software development process. By exploring the basics of feature toggles, understanding their use cases, and setting up an open-source feature toggle system, participants will enhance their development team's workflow and accelerate time to delivery. The course covers topics such as basic implementation, pitfalls, external configuration, architecture, setting up with docker, creating API keys, using feature toggles in applications, and cleaning up technical debt related to feature toggles. The teaching method includes interviews, demonstrations, and practical implementations. This course is intended for software developers, DevOps engineers, and individuals involved in software project management seeking to optimize their development processes.
