Overview
Dex is a piece of software used in production in many companies. Introducing breaking changes is what we try to avoid.
It makes sense to hide some crucial changes behind a feature flag. Before, we introduced a couple of particular environment variables for this purpose.
This PR generalizes the approach for new feature flags in Dex.
What this PR does / why we need it
How to implement, use, and find a feature flag in the code needs to be clarified. This PR aims to define and standardize the concept of feature flags.
Special notes for your reviewer
The improvement to make the codebase cleaner.
