Overall Satisfaction with Django Waffle

Django Waffle makes it extremely easy to not only synchronize product development across a team, but also allows users to toggle features on and off during the testing phase. I appreciate the user-friendly syntax of this software and how quickly the implementation allows us to iterate on features during client review.
  • User-friendly syntax
  • Easy installation
  • Lightweight and supported, so not much in the way of bugs
  • Not as complex as Gutter, albeit suitable for most product needs that I've encountered
  • Straightforward installation and implementation
  • Lightweight and bug-free
  • 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
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.

Did implementation of Django Waffle go as expected?

Would you buy Django Waffle again?

Yes

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.
