7:00 PM Feature Flagging with Remote Config by Andrea Wu, Developer Relations Engineer at Google
When developing a new feature, a feature flag can be used to hide the feature to prevent exposing it to users in the middle of development. After the feature is finished being developed, gradually rolling the feature out to users can help when unforeseen issues occur, and if that does happen, rolling back the feature immediately is necessary. Come learn more about how you can confidently roll out new features with feature flagging by using Firebase Remote Config!
