Feature Flags

Ember.js's Feature Flags provide developers with a flexible solution to selectively enable or disable new features based on project configuration. This feature allows for controlled releases of features when they are deemed ready for production use, helping to minimize potential disruptions. Feature Flags cater to businesses of all sizes and are utilized across various industries, including software development, web development, app development, IT services, and e-commerce.

Key Features

Conditional Feature Enablement: Enable or disable features based on project configuration, granting developers control over feature releases.

Selective Production Release: Release features selectively when they are considered production-ready, minimizing the impact of changes.

Prevent Breaking Changes: Remove feature code if necessary to avoid potential disruptions to the application.

Controlled Feature Testing: Introduce and test new features in a controlled manner to ensure stability and compatibility.

Flagged Features in Canary Builds: Newly flagged features are available in canary builds and can be enabled at runtime through the project's configuration file.

Default Enablement in Beta Releases: Features deemed stable during the beta cycle are enabled by default in the subsequent beta release.

Feedback-driven Feature Disabling: Disable beta features with negative feedback in the next beta point release, with the possibility of re-inclusion in subsequent beta cycles after resolving issues.

Stable Release Inclusion: Once the beta cycle is completed, stable releases include the enabled features and remove the feature flags.

Flag Status Control: The status of feature flags in the generated build is managed by the @ember/canary-features package, simplifying feature enablement.

Runtime Feature Enabling: Enable features that are disabled in the build output at runtime by setting their flag value to true in the project's configuration file.
