Cloudflare are winning these days, they’re just lacking good fine grained permissions. You still have to make an entirely separate account for prod, which messes up SSO since one domain can only be bound to one account.

Their products are cool and I've been happy with them over the years, but their blog right now has had some blunders recently. Also their reliability seems to have been having trouble but does seem better recently.

Has anyone struggled to run their own feature flagging service? After root causing slow app starts to be caused by the equivalent offering from Firebase, I've been cautious to use any off the shelf solutions

OpenFeature was new to me, neat! Anyone have experience integrating this? https://openfeature.dev

It’s pretty useful. We used it at a previous company. We built a custom backend, but used the spec and SDKs.

It took like 2 weeks to build a full custom backend. SDKs across languages worked flawlessly (okay, we did find one bug, reported it, and it was fixed within the day)

It's literally a field in your database. I could never fathom why this needs to be an outsourced service never mind an entire company.

It can get complicated quickly if you're actually using it in a production system. At my prev enterprise saas company we had feature flags that could be turned on per customer / per environment (dev, staging, prod) with permission + logging model such that our support team could also toggle flags with history of who turned on what. We also had "per user" feature flags for certain test users at companies and had DSL rules to evaluate the features

This is nice, but I’m still waiting for this to be delivered (which ironically is probably using Flagship):

I don’t believe a single enterprise only feature has made its way to lower tier (paid) account yet.

I’m most interested in:

This is exactly what stops me from using them for real work. I love their free tier for my hobby stuff.
