Until Today the java provider, used the guava cache to store the flags and the segments. Using the guava cache is now discouraged by the guava team.

In order to follow the guidance of the guava team, we have decided to migrate the internal cache of the Java provider from guava to caffeine.

This may create a breaking change for you if you were using a custom cache configuration with the guava cache in your provider.
Because of this, the cache configuration on GoFeatureFlagProviderOptions that used Guava's CacheBuilder is now handled by Caffeine.

We're excited to announce significant improvements to the integration between GO Feature Flag and OpenFeature.

To better serve our users' diverse needs, we've decided to split the previous Go provider into two distinct providers:

• go-feature-flag: For use with the GO Feature Flag relay proxy.
• go-feature-flag-in-process: For direct integration of GO Feature Flag into your application.

Thomas recently delivered a presentation on Feature Flagging in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) for OpenFeature. Given the presentation's public availability, we are pleased to share the slides with you.

Effective management of the feature flag lifecycle is crucial for maximizing the value of feature flags within an organization.

This presentation is covering the following key areas:

• Feature flag lifecycle: Understanding the complete journey of a feature flag.
• Roles and responsibilities: Identifying who owns each phase of the lifecycle.
• Feature flag naming conventions: Best practices for clear and consistent flag identification.
• Preventing flag debt: Strategies for avoiding the accumulation of unused or obsolete flags.
• Involving project managers: The importance of project management collaboration in feature flag initiatives.

By understanding these concepts, you can optimize your feature flagging strategy and drive business success.

We're thrilled to announce a major milestone for GO Feature Flag: full compatibility with mobile applications. That's right, you can now leverage the power of feature flags to optimize your iOS, Android, and React Native apps with unparalleled ease and flexibility.

We're excited to announce that GO Feature Flag is now one of the first flag management systems to support the Open Feature Remote Evaluation Protocol (OFREP) (currently in an experimental stage).

This is a significant step towards the adoption of Open Feature, a community-driven initiative aiming to standardize feature flag management across different platforms.

Welcome to this tutorial on using feature flags in Node js with GO Feature Flag and Open Feature SDKs.

In this video, we'll walk you through the process of implementing feature flags in your Node js applications, allowing you to roll out new features gradually and control their visibility in real-time.

Earlier this week the super cool podcast Dev’Obs asked me to talk about feature flags, go-feature-flag and also the super nice initiative OpenFeature.

The podcast is in French 🇫🇷 (yes I know sorry…) but you can learn a lot of cool things, when to use them, what is OpenFeature about and all the cool things that the feature flags can bring to your developer experience.
