What's next for Feature Flagging and OpenFeature with Ben Rometsch

Feature Flagging - some may call them "glorified if-statements" - has been a development practice for decades. But have we reached a stage where organizations are doing "Feature Flag-Driven Development?". After all it took years to establish a test-driven development culture despite having great tools and frameworks available!
To learn more we invited Ben Rometsch, Co-Founder of Flagsmith, to chat about the history, state and future of Feature Flagging. He is giving us an update on where the market is heading, how the CNCF project OpenFeature and its community is driving best practices, what the role of AI might be and what he thinks might be next!

The brutal truth about digital performance engineering and operations.

Andreas (aka Andi) Grabner and Brian Wilson are veterans of the digital performance world. Combined they have seen too many applications not scaling and performing up to expectations. With more rapid deployment models made possible through continuous delivery and a mentality shift sparked by DevOps they feel it’s time to share their stories. In each episode, they and their guests discuss different topics concerning performance, ranging from common performance problems for specific technology platforms to best practices in development, testing, deploying and monitoring software performance and user experience. Be prepared to learn a lot about metrics.

Andi & Brian both work at Dynatrace, where they get to witness more real world customer performance issues than they can TPS report at.
