Unleash

Wondering why the largest enterprises in the world, including Visa, Samsung, Lloyds Bank, Wayfair and more ditched their homegrown feature management solution and went with Unleash? 🍿Watch this video and find out in less than 2 minutes Hint- User experience is critical, but it's not enough. Security, audit and control are essential for feature management at scale in large enterprises. https://lnkd.in/e_sf9wCi

Most security breaches can be tied to misappropriated credentials, according to IBM's annual Cost of a Data Breach report. In case you need a reason not to share accounts for mission-critical systems like Feature Management platforms, Mateusz Kwasniewski gives 6 reasons in his latest blog. https://lnkd.in/eEAf6iZn

When we talked to Ivar Østhus of Unleash for Data in the Wild, he tells us why developers should also think about doing the old and new ways in parallel #webdev #datamodels #saas

New blog alert! 🚀 Boemo Mmopelwa's latest post dives deep into how feature flags at scale can sometimes lead to payload issues. This post covers practical strategies to optimize performance and mitigate the impact of large payloads in Unleash. A great read for anyone working with feature flags and aiming to improve efficiency! Check it out and let us know your thoughts! ⬇️

Unleash was just featured in the Thoughtworks Technology Radar. The first sentence really resonates with what we see when working with some of the largest enterprises in the world: "Although using the simplest feature toggle possible remains our recommended approach, scaling teams and faster development make managing hand-crafted toggles more complex." When you are Visa, or Samsung, or a leading e-commerce provider like Wayfair, "simple" toggles themselves become complex very quickly. The big challenge with feature flags isn't the "if statement" logic. It is the performance, scale, access controls, data privacy, audit, etc. Great to see that Unleash is being recognized for solving those complex problems while providing a "good developer experience and friendly UI for administration." Congrats to the Thoughtworks team for another comprehensive Tech Radar. The amount of brain power that goes into such a wide-ranging report is really impressive. https://lnkd.in/eskFFhCV

ICYMU (In case you missed UnleashCon): Our annual user conference was a huge success, with incredible talks from some of the largest and most innovative engineering organizations in the world.

Bittersweet. It's been an amazing #unleashcon but all good things must end. Wrapping up with Jeanette Pranin Corin from fabric Jeanette is talking about how feature flags were essential to safely releasing a major design system update across their micro-frontends architecture. 🖥️ Key takeaways: * Feature flags allowed them to run two design systems side-by-side, gradually rolling out the new version while maintaining the old one. * This method of progressive rollout let them test new designs with internal teams and beta users before going live. * Unleash helped reduce risk during deployments, turning features on/off in nanoseconds. * Feature flags were key to modernizing the platform without downtime, making it a smoother experience for both users and developers. 🔄 Thank you Jeanette for sharing your experience!

Now, at #unleashcon, we have Mark Quigley from Wayfair talking about their journey with feature flags. Wayfair’s story of moving from a homegrown feature toggle system to Unleash highlights the importance of scalability and reducing developer overhead. 🛋️ Before Unleash, it took Wayfair around 40 minutes to propagate changes through their system. Now, with Unleash, feature toggles update instantly, significantly improving their deployment process. Key takeaways: * Unleash is 1/3 the cost of maintaining their old homegrown system. * Wayfair now handles over 80,000 requests per second without slowing down feature releases. * 400 projects rely on Unleash to deploy features into production. * Unleash’s scalability and custom strategies help them handle complex use cases while keeping costs down. With Unleash, Wayfair not only scales effortlessly but also accelerates their feature rollout, ensuring a smoother, faster experience for both their teams and customers. 🛒

Hans Kristian Flaatten 🕊️🍉from NAV is speaking now at #unleashcon Nav is a government agency that is responsible for managing 1/3 of Norway's national budget. No pressure. Hans shared how they moved from quarterly releases to 2,500 weekly deployments using feature flags. That’s right, from 4 releases a year to 2,500 a week! 😲 Key takeaways: * Feature flags helped reduce the risk of rolling out new welfare services to citizens. * They’ve streamlined their deployment process, which allows them to push updates quickly and safely. * NAV’s journey is a perfect example of how you can go from slow, painful quarterly releases to daily innovation. That kind of transformation shows how feature flags help scale development while maintaining control over complex systems.

Erik Johs @ Medidata Solutions a Dassault Systèmes company talking at #unleashcon now. He is taking us inside their high-stakes world of clinical trial management where downtime isn’t just frustrating—it comes with heavy financial penalties. 💸 Feature flags helped them experiment in production without exposing users to bugs or downtime. Key takeaways: * In regulated industries, mistakes can lead to six-figure fines. Feature flags give a controlled safety net. * Unleash enabled them to roll back features instantly without restarting deployments. * They’ve halved the time needed to safely roll out features. * Feature flags are key to moving faster, without compromising quality or compliance. ⚖️
