In the previous section, we discussed using open source tools for feature flags, which can be a good solution but requires some infrastructure components and is dependent on a development language (in our example, it was .NET Core).

For better use and management of feature flags, we can use a cloud solution that does not require the implementation of an architecture and provides a lot of features around feature flags.

Among these cloud solutions (software as a service, or SaaS), there is LaunchDarkly (https://launchdarkly.com/), which is a SaaS platform that is composed of a feature flag management back office and SDKs that allow us to manipulate the feature flags in our applications.

In addition to the classic version of feature flag management with RimDev...
