    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

    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.

      After years of AWS I gave Cloudflare a whirl and loved the UX but ultimately retreated back due to the same concern. They are so close though..

      Yes! I just opened a support case today asking for more fine grained permissions.

      Just let everyone have access to prod?

        One account gets compromised and your doomed. A lot of companies even have prod access be a request based system. Most modern security models with zero trust don't let everyone have access to everything, quite the opposite.

        Poor access and change management governance.

    Worth noticing a Vercel equivalent: https://github.com/vercel/flags

    If anyone is interested, you can implement something like that with a few lines of code on the front end. We expose a function that generates a uniformly-distributed hash that you can use for A/B testing and other uses:

      Q.Data.variant()
    https://github.com/Qbix/Q.js/blob/main/src/js/Q.minimal.js#L...

    And on the back end, you'd use it like this:

    https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/blob/main/platform/classes/...

    Essentially, this can support a huge number of "variants" and within each variant you can have N equal segments. That will help you do A/B testing and flipping features on or off.
