The Open Feature Summit focuses on the use of feature flags and experimentation in cloud-native environments. It’s an event designed to help developers, architects, and decision-makers leverage feature management to accelerate release velocity and improve the reliability of deployments. The summit dives deep into the Open Feature project, which provides a unified standard for feature flags, making it easier to manage flags across diverse environments, tools, and programming languages. This is the first time the Open Feature Summit is being held as a co-located event at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon.
Who will get the most out of attending this event?
Anyone who is involved in the development, deployment, or operation of cloud-native applications will benefit from attending. This includes developers, DevOps engineers, platform teams, and product managers. The event is particularly suited for those already using or considering the use of feature flags and looking to enhance their progressive delivery practices.
Should I do any homework first?
No formal prep work is required, but familiarity with the concept of feature flags and progressive delivery would be helpful. Attendees might want to explore the Open Feature documentation or check out the latest updates on GitHub to get an idea of what the project offers. Bringing specific challenges or use cases from your work can also help make discussions more valuable.
Anything else you would like to say about this event?
The Open Feature Summit is a unique opportunity to connect with others who are passionate about improving software delivery through feature management. We’re excited to offer an interactive and practical experience, with sessions that will cater to everyone from beginners to advanced users. The goal is to leave attendees with actionable insights they can immediately apply to their own development workflows.
Submitted by David Hirsch, who is looking forward to seeing how the Open Feature ecosystem is evolving, particularly how it’s being adopted across different cloud-native tools.
