Flag-tastic and Fearless: Feature Flags Meet K8s for Deployments That Sing!
summary
Shows a working pipeline that ties OpenFeature to Kubernetes using a CRD, the OpenFeature operator and flagd, synced from Git via ArgoCD sync and observed with Prometheus; feature toggles change UI color live (blue → red) and flip backend behavior so a Fibonacci request drops from seconds to milliseconds. Claims standard OpenFeature SDK/provider hooks and rollout-by-percentage enable safe canary ramps. Notes OpenFeature moved from sandbox to incubating in ~1.5 years (2022→2023).
