Hey Alexa, play "Upgrade U" by Beyoncé 😎

Since introducing Release Assistant, we’ve heard from our users that they want more automation & guided workflows.

With that being said, we’re excited to announce several improvements to Release Assistant! 😏

When implementing feature flags, start small. Run a single feature to see how it works before broadening your scope.

[Dawn Parzych @dparzych]

Software is not 100% bug-free. Systems are complex and layered. Isolating bugs takes time, rolling back code adds more time to getting stable systems. #GalaxyConf @saipriya85

[Dawn Parzych @dparzych]

Apply the lessons you learned using the wrong tool so you don't make the same costly mistakes. @jeremyrcox #GalaxyConf

[Dawn Parzych @dparzych]

"Leveraging organizational tools is key to successful organization changes." @calesbrock #GalaxyConf

[Dawn Parzych @dparzych]

Collaboration is necessary. These changes wouldn't be possible if QA and Engineering had not worked together. @calesbrock #GalaxyConf

[Dawn Parzych @dparzych]

Find one of the biggest problems you have to start testing first. #GalaxyConf

[Dawn Parzych @dparzych]

Small interruptions like forgetting to set do not distrub can take up to 22 minutes to recover from #GalaxyConf @InTheCloudDan

[Dawn Parzych @dparzych]

What challenges does your team face with release management at scale?

-Shifted from bi-weekly to daily release cycle
& would have to cope with different levels of quality in production.

-Needed to change how we talked about when a feature was live

#GalaxyConf @jamesdacosta

[Dawn Parzych @dparzych]

We should shift from calling them kill switches to safety nets. You're saving yourself and your customers from a bad experience. @NotKyleSchrade

[Dawn Parzych @dparzych]

Kill switch was needed the week before to address a back end issue for new code. The issue was resolved and the code was turned back on. On Black Friday, for retailers this is the biggest day of the year. @NotKyleSchrade #GalaxyConf

[Dawn Parzych @dparzych]

You think deploying code on Friday is scary. What about deploying code on Black Friday? @NotKyleSchrade shares how they did just that. #GalaxyConf

[Edith Harbaugh @edith_h]

Feature Management best practices from the legendary @launchmarkly @galaxyconf
* code references
* tag flags
* naming conventions
* web hooks for visibility

[Dawn Parzych @dparzych]

When bringing a flag into code, look at how easy it is for anybody to remove. In case people leave the organization. Block commenting can help mitigate risk. #GalaxyConf @launchmarkly

[Dawn Parzych @dparzych]

Always be thinking about flag removals. Don't wait until you need to remove a flag, design for removal from the beginning. #GalaxyConf @launchmarkly

Kicking off the morning with an awesome cooking class with Chef Olive from @KitchenOnFire! ☕

[LaunchDarkly Galaxy @galaxyconf]
