Details
On Thursday, November 20, 2025, we will meet at the Slingshot offices at 700 N Hurstbourne Pkwy. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and the presentations will begin sharply at 6:30 p.m. Along with an excellent presentation, TEKsystems will provide food. Be sure to RSVP so we know how much food is needed. Afterward, we will go to Brick House Tavern for drinks and food to continue the conversation.
The session will also be broadcast at https://twitch.tv/TaleLearnCode.
### Feature Flags: Separate Deployment from Feature Release
Tired of rolling back the feature because a hotfix is coming through? Want to get away from code freezes to fit an arbitrary deadline? Feature flags allow us to release code when we’re ready and then turn it on when business is ready. There’s subtleties and nuance here though. Join us on this journey where we introduce feature flags, talk about the options for cloud-based services vs. built-in systems, and look at best practices for testing and retiring feature flags. You’ll leave with a repo of solid examples and techniques to take control of your deployment future.
