OpenFeature was new to me, neat! Anyone have experience integrating this? https://openfeature.dev

I have had a lot of experience with OpenFeature, and have early commits in a few of the client libraries. It's definitely the future of feature flagging, and the ecosystem is really growing.

Full disclosure, I am the CTO of Flagsmith, and we have seen a clear curve in adoption of OpenFeature over the last few years. It used to be that we were pushing customers to try it out, now they come to us with OpenFeature as a requirement.

The vendor support is pretty mature now and there is coverage across almost all languages. If you're integrating feature flags into a new service, or looking to migrate from e.g. home-grown to a third party solution, OpenFeature is definitely the way I would recommend going.

It’s pretty useful. We used it at a previous company. We built a custom backend, but used the spec and SDKs.

It took like 2 weeks to build a full custom backend. SDKs across languages worked flawlessly (okay, we did find one bug, reported it, and it was fixed within the day)
