"usually risky to give a demo at a conference" ngl the "at conference" qualifier seems redundant #kubecon #openfeature

I'm speaking today at #KubeCon London, as part of the #OpenFeature summit. Come hear my talk, Beyond Boolean, where I discuss some of the challenges teams face when flagging at scale and how we help you solve those problems at
@growthbook

Join us tomorrow for #YouChoose

This time we’re exploring miscellaneous tools related to IDPs - fun!

We’ll compare #Dapr, #KusionStack, & #OpenFeature with 5-minute presentations from experts, followed by Q&A. Then VOTE on which tool we implement in our demo!

Add feature flags to any #nodejs app with just a JSON file: https://dev.to/agardnerit/add-feature-flags-with-only-a-json-flat-file-in-nodejs-41ef #openfeature

#KubeCon has a nice track called #Contribfest where maintainers can meet with (prospective) contributors to solve problems.

I randomly popped into the #OpenFeature slot w/o knowing anything about it (open standard for feature flags).

Although I couldn't contribute to any issue, maintainer Todd Baert was helpful and patient in assisting me to get a sample Spring Boot app running locally with #OpenFeature & #flagd.

A memorable encounter.

Also got a shirt, now feeling obliged to give back lol

Congrats #OpenFeature on moving into CNCF incubation 👏
Having been in #ProductManagement in past life, and an advocate of open standards, this effort to create #opensource specification for feature flags is of high value in my view.

flagd - the Open Source feature flagging system now has its own website: https://flagd.dev #flagd #openfeature

I said a thing for #openfeature https://youtu.be/heQ83k15ZE4

Gave my first talk since The Pancake last night - an intro to #featureflags and #OpenFeature.

A small crowd, but lovely and very engaged! It feels like feature flagging is a perennially interesting topic - most teams are doing it, most are looking for ways to get better at it.

Still busy at the #openfeature booth at #kubecon.

#OpenFeature project meeting done. #Pixie now and #Keptn this afternoon. Lots of fantastic innovation at #kubecon

Progressive delivery with feature flags in 2 minutes. #openfeature #ProgressiveDelivery #featureflags

blurghed: adding feature flagging to a node app using OpenFeature.

Get started with a simple hard-coded feature flag provider in literally a couple of minutes, with the option of a seamless future upgrade to the full-blown feature flagging frameworks that integrate with OpenFeature.

CNCF project OpenFeature is looking for a maintainer for the Python SDK. Is that you? https://github.com/open-feature/python-sdk

My review of 5 leading open source standards: OpenTelemetry, OpenFeature, CloudEvents, CDEvents and the Open Cybersecurity Framework (OCSF).

Do you use #featureflags ? With #openfeature it is a one-line change to switch from in-house to vendor. OpenFeature is tightly integrated with #opentelemetry so everything is #observable by default. https://docs.openfeature.dev for more info

#OpenFeature is an open standard for feature flagging, created to support a robust #featureflag ecosystem using #cloudnative technologies https://docs.openfeature.dev/docs/reference/intro

blurghed: what makes client-side #FeatureFlags different from server-side, and how we're extending the #openfeature API to support client-side flags:

https://docs.openfeature.dev/blog/catering-to-the-client-side/

TL;DR:

1) on the server-side the evaluation context for flagging decisions is highly dynamic (each request is for a different user), vs client-side where it's *mostly* static.

2) on the client, feature flag evaluation is expensive/slow.

This means on the client flags are typically pre-evaluated ahead of decision time

Does anyone in #devrel world have a good resource for finding currently-open conference CFPs?

After a several-year hiatus, I think it's time for me to get back to the conference circuit to do some promoting for #OpenFeature
