Abstract:
Rolling-out a feature is a fine art.
Users are becoming more and more demanding. A single crash could entice them away from your app (and land a shameful 1-star review).
In this context, the possibility of remote controlling your app is a key tool. First, it can protect you against crashes and incidents. Moreover, it can help you experiment on the user experience to fit your users’ tastes.
At Spotify, feature rollout and experimentation are at the foundation of our development. We deliver daily more than a thousand feature flags on a variety of different apps (Android, iOS, and more).
To achieve this, we built an in-house solution to support our experimentation needs. Throughout the years we collected a series of learnings, success stories and pitfalls. In this talk, I will share some of them. Afterwards, you will be able to set the stage for a flawless rollout.
