What is Feature flag?

A feature flag allows developers to turn features on or off without deploying new code. This approach enables gradual rollouts, testing in production, experimentation, and safer releases. Teams can activate features for specific user segments, perform A/B tests, or instantly disable a problematic feature. Feature flags reduce risk, speed up development, and improve the overall release process by giving teams fine-grained control over functionality.
