Continuous Delivery in VUE using GitLab Feature Flags

Sometimes we want to test our features in production, do A/B testings, research or just keep our master branch up to date with our new developments, but we struggle to keep the separation between what we as developers want and what business needs.

Our proposal to solve this problem is the use of Feature flags, that help reduce risks by giving you the power of deciding when you want to enable or disable new features and keep the control of the target audience. Controlled tests, smaller batches and other improvements can be easily added to your applications using them.

During this session we'll take a small application with few features and and we'll add new ones under feature flags and see how we can manage them using GitLab. After this exercise you'll have the base tools to know how to approach deployments and how you can parallelize different developments by using feature flags.

You can choose between just listening to Kristian's explanations and seeing how he implements it or do it yourself at the same time for what you'll need: a GitLab account, NPM and Node in a local environment and an IDE/editor to write code.
