Less Vendor Lock-in: Open source means less vendor lock-in by nature. Many open source feature flag solutions are also partnered with OpenFeature to promote open standards, community, and less lock-in at the code level.

Instead of returning a static value, the code above uses OpenFeature and the Flagd provider (feature flag backend) to retrieve flag values (we will see how flagd reads the JSON file soon). If the feature flag system is offline or unavailable for whatever reason, a safe fallback value of #FFFFFF is returned.

Open-source & standardise interfaces - DevCycle tries to make every piece of software that their clients install open source. With CNCF, they are leading a project called OpenFeature - a vendor-agnostic interface for feature flagging.

The trend in feature flag implementation is to standardize with solutions like OpenFeature that provide SDKs and templates to streamline the process. Standardization is beneficial for 2 reasons:

For those that dont know about the project, check out Open Feature https://openfeature.dev/ which is sort of like Open Telemetry but for feature flags. Helps avoid vendor lock in. We're a young project and looking for help and to build the community!

What is the OpenFeature Standard?

Feature flags, also known as feature toggles, have become an essential tool for modern software development. They enable developers to control the release of new features and updates in a flexible and controlled manner. In this blog post, we'll explore what feature flags are, their classical and modern use cases, and how to implement them effectively in front-end, mobile, and server-side applications. We'll also delve into the concept of overlapping design A/B testing and how feature flags play a crucial role in building robust experimentation.

featbit/featbit: A scalable, fast and 100% open-source feature flag tool written in C# .NET (github.com)

Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce a new open-source feature flag management tool that we recently discovered and implemented in our production environment. You can find the tool at: https://github.com/featbit/featbit We tested several other tools, but what convinced us to choose this particular tool were the following reasons: 1. It offers all the necessary functionalities we require. Additionally, it seems that they continue to open-source additional functions that other tools don't provide, such as Audit Logs, Reusable Segments, Permission Control, and even Single Sign-On (SSO) in the future. 2. I joined their community, and I found the core team to be friendly and responsive (perhaps because they are relatively new). 3. The tool is developed using a programming language that aligns well with our daily work. 4. Although they open-sourced the project only 7 months ago, they have been working on its development for two years. 5. It is licensed under the MIT license. I thought it would be helpful to share this tool here for anyone who may need it or wants to add it to your wishing list. Enjoy!

It's MIT for those interested in such things
