SUMMARY:PHP Sussex: Feature Flags - A Practical Place to Begin
DESCRIPTION:This month we're heading back to Pizza Pilgrims to welcome Pet
 er Fox\, a Senior Software Engineer at Amiqus\, who will tell us all we n
 eed to know about Feature Flags (details further down).\nPeter will be our
  first in-person speaker in a while\, and this is how he introduces his ta
 lk:\n"Feature Flags\, Dark Launching\, A/B Testing? What the hell is the d
 ifference? In this talk I will answer those questions and I’ll start to 
 explain how you can start and evolve to potentially do all of those things
 .\nFirst I'll break down the simplest form of feature flags\, using ENV va
 riables. I'll go into why this is a good start but will begin to fail you 
 quickly on any medium to large scale application.\nI'll then explain why I
  then started to building Feature Flags for Laravel\, learning to work wit
 h different persistence layers and working out the places to store and acc
 ess flags in an efficient manner.\nSoon we're not just feature flagging an
 ymore but we want to be able to dark launch and test features in productio
 n. This then requires mapping flags to users and teams. This has been the 
 driving force for building a product like Flagfox for Laravel as a UI/UX s
 olution. I'll finally finish things up with a few notes on A/B testing."\n
 Feature flags are one of these practices I hear a lot about but never took
  the time to do a deep dive into\, so I'm very much looking forward to thi
 s.\nHope to see you there and then!
