Design a cross-product feature flag strategy for coordinated release
This tests distributed coordination across service boundaries. A strong answer proposes a unified namespace, central config with local caches, and one user-scoped gate evaluated consistently in both products.
This tests consistency and blast-radius control when a user journey spans independent deployable units. A strong strategy uses a unified flag namespace or hierarchical dependency graph so Product B exposes a prerequisite flag that Product A depends on. Evaluate flags at the edge or propagate a single user-scoped decision via context headers to prevent split-brain experiences. Centralize config with local caching and circuit breakers to survive network partitions.
