How to automate feature flag rollouts with AI checks
Blog post from CodeWords
Automating feature flag rollouts with AI checks streamlines the process of deploying code to production by monitoring key metrics and advancing rollout stages without human intervention. CodeWords workflows integrate with monitoring tools like Datadog to evaluate error rates, latency, and business metrics, using AI to decide when to advance or pause the rollout, thus reducing the time from days to hours. This automation minimizes human error and fatigue associated with manual monitoring, which often causes rollouts to stall or advance incorrectly due to oversight. The system can handle multiple concurrent rollouts, using machine learning models to analyze potential interaction effects between features and coordinating high-risk feature rollouts through a priority queue. By programmatically managing feature flag states and providing intelligent alerts, CodeWords enhances rollout reliability and efficiency, supporting various feature flag providers and customizable rollout stages to adapt to different deployment needs.
