A consortium led by Dynatrace has submitted OpenFeature to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) for consideration as a sandbox project.
The observability software specialist is developing the open source feature flag standard in partnership with LaunchDarkly, GitLab, Split, Flagsmith, CloudBees, and others.
Feature flagging has emerged as a key enabler for effective continuous software delivery, devops and site reliability engineering (SRE) practices by enabling developers to toggle certain application functionality on and off at runtime, without deploying new code.
