Hi guys, I was contacted by Aaron Ahmad (doesn't seem to be in slack here) and he sent me some info about Progressive Delivery. Although I'm interested in the topic, I'm still very sceptic about feature flags. Not that I don't understand or like them, but I think in our current state it makes more sense to have canary deployments based on seperate deployments with a loadbalancer shifting the traffic instead of doing it in code with a magic SaaS config system. Any input on that?
