This kind of goes without saying since it's the opposite of the first don't I listed, but it's worth restating and giving some examples. Using tools from third parties means taking advantage of what they have done so you don't have to do that work. This means you are free to build things that make your app special. I like to use feature flag tools for this. Some examples are LaunchDarkly, Split, and AWS App Config. I can't say I've used App Config, but the principles behind all of these are about the same; you pass in some bit of information and it tells you if the thing is on/off. It's a simple way to get tier management without a lot of work. Plus, if you aren't using feature flags in your app already you really should consider them. That's probably worth a blog post of its own.
