Feature flags are used for gradual rollout and testing of features. Including, but not limited by, A/B tests, region-locking features, rolling to features to internal users only and so on.For example, you're developing a new version of the checkout page for your company from scratch (it can be a store selling physical goods, or a subscription service, or anything that requires payment). It means that for a while it will not have feature parity with your existing checkout page.So
What's the difference between this and a feature flagging tool?
