Zero Downtime Postgres Upgrades
This is great! I wrote a tool that automates most of the things you came across. If you find it useful or would like to extend it with your feedback/ideas, I'd love to have them! Thanks for sharing

Zero downtime major PostgreSQL upgrades with pg_easy_replicate
These are great shouts! Thank you so much for sharing. One of the operations I ran with this was ~500GB and yeah it takes a few hours to catchup. For us, it wasn't an issue, especially also since we were on AWS Aurora. However, that said, I can totally see it being not feasible on other database engine/systems. I considered the idea of dropping all the indices and re-creating it once the catch up is complete. I'd like pg_easy_replicate it to support that. It should make the initial COPY lot more swift. On a 200GB large DB it cut down down the total time by 90%.
Re: bi-directional replication, you read my mind :). https://github.com/shayonj/pg_easy_replicate/blob/8df94aa93f...

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.

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.

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.
