Hi! I’m trying to sift through the options out there for feature flipping and I’d love to hear other people’s opinions. Here’s what I’ve found so far:
flipper: This is my preferred solution but I find the docs super convoluted for this one. It looks like I’d need to set up a wrapper in my app but there’s minimal-no guidance. The code samples showing the methods included are also all used within the context of local vars and I’m not sure how that translates through my application. Pros = cool approach with adapters and great features Cons = docs make it seem a little bloated and confusing to use.
ruby_flipper: I’ve used this in the past and loved it but it doesn’t have a ton of contributors and I don’t see any active development. Pros = super simple Cons = not sure how actively it’s being supported.
rollout Pros = good docs, active development. Cons = Our team prefers using ActiveRecord over Redis … also - not sure how I feel about depending on redis for managing my app state.
Alternatively - it seems like I could just roll my own … which could be pretty simple given that I’d like to use active record to manage my features.
I’d love thoughts or feedback on what others have used
