We hit a scaling problem — too many feature toggles, unclear ownership, and stale flags.
Improvements we made:
- Added metadata: owner, expiration, rollout strategy
- Implemented auto-cleanup rules
- Created dashboards for live toggles by team
Pro tip: categorize toggles into release, ops, and experiment types. Treat them as code debt if they linger.
We now run monthly toggle cleanups. Reduced confusion and bugs across services.
