Feature flags in Rails: How to roll out and manage your features like a pro
Thatās it! You now have a fully configured feature flagging system in your Rails app. Notice we didnāt cover some more advanced features that Flipper offers, including enabling features for a user group or individual users. For that, check out Flipper on Github. We also didnāt cover feature flagging frontend features in this post - if that becomes a requirement we could easily create an endpoint that uses the FeaturesRepo and sends enabled features to the frontend to toggle. If you learned something new consider following me here - Iāll be putting out more content on Ruby on Rails and software development as I work on Firecode.io. Preparing for a coding interview? Check out Firecode.io.

Add Feature Flags in Ruby on Rails with Flipper
Flipper is a gem that makes feature flags and different ways to toggle them available in Rails. It is highly modular. Apart from the main gem, you'll also have to pick a storage adapter ā but more on that later. Let's use the ActiveRecord adapter for now.

Keeping the Stakes Low while Breaking Production
The next step came about when I learned more about our use of Flipper; a Ruby gem for dynamically toggling on and off features. I didnāt know when the feature would roll out, but I wanted control over the feature. I also wanted admins of other Forems to have control as well. This was trivial with Flipper. Once I deployed the code, Foremās got the original behavior unless they turned āflippedā on the feature.
