Copado Certified Practice Exam

A 'Feature Flag' in the context of Copado refers to a technique used to turn features on or off within an application. This allows developers to deploy code to production without necessarily exposing the users to new features immediately. Feature flags enable teams to manage the rollout of new functionalities in a controlled manner, facilitating gradual releases, A/B testing, and the ability to quickly revert changes if necessary. By employing feature flags, organizations can experiment with new features while minimizing risk and maintaining stability in their applications. This method is particularly beneficial in DevOps environments, where continuous integration and continuous deployment practices are prevalent. It allows for more agile development cycles, as features can be toggled based on user feedback, operational considerations, or testing requirements without the need for re-deployment.
