Django Waffle vs. Flagsmith

I would recommend that engineers look to try Django Waffle for feature development within a team setting; it really streamlines flipping features on and off for testing. I think the simplicity of Django Waffle is pretty great, but it may be a limitation for those developing far more complex products.

Flagsmith is the best tool I worked with for feature flags, in terms of how easy and intuitive it is to use. On the other hand, it has all the features we need to effectively manage features.

• User-friendly syntax
• Easy installation
• Lightweight and supported, so not much in the way of bugs

• Controle features feasability
• Create user segements
• Mange multiple environments

I found Django Waffle to work seamlessly with my Django-native codebase, and the implementation was extremely fast and intuitive. Gargoyle offers a bit more in the way of building more complicated code segments, but it's also more complex to implement. I use Django Waffle for nearly every project involving feature flipping.

• Easy to show clients different feature options without rewriting the whole codebase
• Faster feedback loops during testing
• Good for synchronizing team effort across the codebase

Incentivized

• We can be very flexible to client needs by quickly deploying new features behind flags.
• We can support the sales dept by deploying demo features without risk to stability.
