Have you ever shipped a new feature to your Forge app and held your breath hoping nothing breaks in production? What if you could release with confidence — rolling out to 10% of users first, then 50%, then everyone — all without touching a single line of deployed code? 

In this lightning talk, we'll show how Forge's built-in Feature Flags let you decouple deployments from releases, giving you fine-grained control over who sees what, when. Whether you're testing a bold new UI, gating a premium capability, or quietly running a beta with a select group of users, feature flags make it possible with just a few lines of code and a few clicks in the Developer Console. 

We'll walk through the core concepts, then bring it to life with a live demo — flipping a flag in the Developer Console and watching the change ripple through a real Forge app in real time, no redeployment required. Along the way, we'll share practical patterns for targeting by user or site, and the "aha!" moments that changed how we think about shipping Forge apps safely. 
Whether you're managing a single internal app or scaling a Marketplace product to thousands of sites, this session will give you the tools and confidence to release fearlessly.

Key takeaways:

• Understand how Forge feature flags work and how to create your first flag in the Developer Console
• Learn when to use the Client SDK (for gating UI elements in the browser) vs. the Server-side SDK (for gating backend logic in resolvers and triggers)
• See a live demo of feature flag rollout in action — toggling a flag and watching it take effect within seconds
• Walk away with practical rollout strategies — roll out by percentage, target specific users or sites, gate by license tier, and isolate changes per environment — with real code snippets you can use right away
