Describe an architecture that decouples business launch from code deployment
This tests feature-flag architecture separating deployment from release. Strong answers cover toggle categories and decision decoupling. They need lifecycle management to limit carrying cost. Red flag: treating flags as permanent or ignoring toggle debt.
This tests feature-toggle architecture that separates code deployment from business launch. A strong design identifies four categories: release, experiment, ops, and permissioning. It decouples decision points from logic via inversion of decision, prefers static configuration where possible, and supports dynamic per-request overrides. Benefits include canary releases and A/B testing; trade-offs are validation complexity and carrying cost.
