Feature flag
A Feature flag is a configuration value that controls whether application code for a feature is enabled, disabled, or conditionally available without redeploying the application. Teams use it to release, test, target, disable, or roll back application behavior by changing configuration instead of shipping new code every time. It is not a substitute for authorization, a permanent architecture branch, a secret store, a deployment slot by itself, or a safe rollback if dependencies and data changes are irreversible.
