Flowchart of feature flag rollout showing 5 percent canary, error rate check, kill-switch branch, 50 percent ramp, and 100 percent release.

What it shows

  • Deploy dark behind a flag before routing canary traffic to 5% of users.
  • Automate rollback triggers when error rates exceed baseline by 0.5%.
  • Retire feature flags within two sprint cycles to prevent technical debt.

The takeaway

Decouple deployment from release using flags and telemetry to guarantee zero-downtime releases.
