Feature flagging allows backend developers to enable or disable features on the fly without redeploying. This tutorial shows how to build an app using Golang, Redis, and Flagsmith for feature flag management. The app demonstrates dynamic functionality adjustments such as API rate limiting and beta endpoint activation. The process includes coding the API, initializing clients, creating endpoints, and integrating with Flagsmith and GitHub for real-time updates and feature management.
