# Feature flags in development of GitLab
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Feature flags can be used to gradually roll out changes, be
|
|
|
|
|
it a new feature, or a performance improvement. By using feature flags, we can
|
|
|
|
|
comfortably measure the impact of our changes, while still being able to easily
|
|
|
|
|
disable those changes, without having to revert an entire release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before using feature flags for GitLab's development, read through the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [Process for using features flags](process.md).
