Summary
The article discusses the use of ConfigCat, a hosted service for feature flag and configuration management, at InfluxData. ConfigCat enables users to control features and target specific user segments based on various attributes. It provides SDKs for different languages, but Elixir was not initially supported. InfluxData developed an internal Elixir SDK and later collaborated with another company, Drover, to open source it and make it available to the public through Elixir's hex.pm package registry. The collaboration resulted in a more consistent and feature-rich Elixir SDK for ConfigCat.
