About this course

"Big bang" changes are daunting; even more so when they involve infrastructure. At LaunchDarkly we use feature flags for gradual migrations, which allow us to move at a pace we control without downtime.

Learn how to use this approach for database changes and microservice rearchitecture, de-risking every step of the way. And if you have a common, fast migration procedure that is already standard practice, you'll see how feature flags can still contribute to safety without changing core processes.

In this session:

  • Strategy for big, complex migrations
  • Step-by-step guide to database movement
  • Flexible service migrations through targeting rules
  • Reducing risk in common, fast migration processes
