vacom1835yHey @dan-pud the two major differences between LaunchDarkly and UpStamps are price and requests limits. UpStamps is more accessible for developers and small teams that want to implement Feature Flags in their projects. UpStamps does not limit the number of Monthy Active Users (MAU). UpStamps uses users to improve segments and not to limit.

This is not meant to offend of criticize your work. This comment is about the general trend of delegating infrastructure stuff like this to 3rd party tools. What if your site/service is down? Does that mean I can't enable a feature when I want to until hours/days later when it is back?
what if you have a bug in this service and features started randomly getting enabled/disabled?
What kind of mitigations do you have for scenarios like this? -
vacom1835y@MrCSharp In all services, trust is needed, this trust is built over time. It is up to me to guarantee the availability of the service, choosing the best infrastructure services. I think that one point that I can improve is to provide the status of services on the UpStamps website. With yesterday's feedback I am considering developing offline mode for integrations, this will allow having the flags on the user's computer (LocalStorage or something similar yet to be analyzed) and this will safeguard if the service ever goes down.

vacom1835y@MrCSharp One thing I want with UpStamps is to be transparent, it's easy to have lots of flags in your code, one of my goals is to show the developer the use of the flag and its age by providing its location, so I can allow the developer to understand if there are flags that are no longer needed to be in the code

Hey just release UpStamps (https://www.upstamps.com/).
UpStamps is a Feature Flag Management Platform to separate code from different environments and projects, this helps teams and developers deploy faster with less risk.
I want to know what you think and feedback is appreciated.
