Understanding Feature Flag Performance with Observability

Feature flags make it easy to experiment in production, but they can also be a source of confusion during debugging, profiling, and root-cause analysis. Observability tools like distributed tracing offer exciting new approaches to understanding the performance impact of your features in production. In this talk, you’ll learn about how open source observability tools, such as OpenTelemetry, can be integrated into your services to provide critical performance data and insights about how your features are performing in different scenarios. You’ll also learn how to easily get started adding OpenTelemetry into your services to monitor your flags.
