Summary
This post discusses bootstrapping a Python project and exploring feature flags and application delivery using LaunchDarkly. It covers how to separate deployment and release processes into two distinct paths, allowing control over which users can access new code while serving the unchanged version to others. The author demonstrates this by creating a simple web application using Flask and adding feature flags with LaunchDarkly. They also explain the difference between client-side and server-side SDKs and how they are used in different scenarios. Finally, the post touches on the potential for more advanced applications of feature flags in future blog posts.
