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.

How do you release experimental features to early adopters?
I think you are calling it Runtime Controls: https://github.com/jnunemaker/flipper/issues/162

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.

What Feature Toggle/Flag service are you using?
Since Honeybadger is a Ruby shop, we use the flipper gem.

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.

Ask HN: Deploying my project on multiple servers?
If you don't want to go down the NFS share route then Capistrano is a useful tool if you're willing to write a little bit of ruby. It comes with some built in goodies like rollbacks. It's an oldie (pre-dockerize everything), but still useful.

You can start by deploying from your machine to simultaneously get it deploying across all your servers, then I'd consider having a CI/CD pipeline take over and run Capistrano for you.

Run Your Rails App On Kubernetes: A Step-by-Step Tutorial
The deployment process generally includes making the new version available, directing traffic from the old to the new version, and stopping the old versions. Capistrano has been doing this since 2006. However, what makes Kubernetes deployments better is the minimum number of pods required, and its rollout strategy minimizes or eliminates downtime. For example, a rolling update strategy can ensure new pods gradually replace old pods with configs like maxSurge and maxUnavailable. Because this is done in a declarative way, as a user or operator, you only need to ask Kubernetes to apply a given deployment and Kubernetes does the rest. Next up is the Kubernetes config map.

Approach to zero downtime deployment when not using vercel infrastructure?
What I had considered was writing a deployment script where upon successful build in a separate folder, it'd swap out the deployed folder, similar to how Capistrano works. It has a "current" folder and it'll build in a temporary folder and then replace the symlink to a newer build.

deployer is a deployment tool written in PHP. It comes with "Zero Downtime Deployments" out of the box and can be extended by writing simple PHP code. (capistrano would be the equivalent in the Ruby world).
