Simplest possible feature toggle

Not on the current edition
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar Understand more

Adopt ? We feel strongly that the industry should be adopting these items. We use them when appropriate on our projects.

Unfortunately, feature toggles are less common than we'd like, and quite often we see people mixing up its types and use cases. It's quite common to come across teams that use heavyweight platforms such as LaunchDarkly to implement feature toggles, including release toggles, to benefit from Continuous Integration, when all you need are if/else conditionals. Therefore, unless you need A/B testing or canary release or hand over feature release responsibility to business folks, we encourage you to use the simplest possible feature toggle instead of unnecessarily complex feature toggle frameworks.
