The Hidden Cost

Feature Flags Are Silently Costing You

Every development team uses feature flags for safer deployments. But when they're not properly managed, they create a hidden burden that slows down your entire engineering organization.

The average development team spends 5+ hours per week manually tracking and removing obsolete feature flags

That's time that could be spent building features, fixing bugs, or improving user experience.

Manual flag audits, impact analysis, and removal processes consume valuable engineering hours that should be spent on innovation.

Stale flags create cognitive overhead for developers, making codebases harder to understand and maintain.

Forgotten flags can introduce unexpected behavior or security vulnerabilities in production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about how FlagShark can help your development team

What types of feature flags can FlagShark detect?

FlagShark can identify feature flags implemented through common libraries like LaunchDarkly, Split.io, and Optimizely, as well as custom implementations across multiple programming languages.

How does FlagShark determine if a flag is safe to remove?

Our system analyzes deployment history, flag usage patterns, and code context to determine if a flag has been consistently enabled or disabled for an extended period, making it a candidate for removal.

Will FlagShark work with our existing CI/CD pipeline?

Yes, FlagShark is designed to integrate seamlessly with popular CI/CD tools and workflows, enhancing your existing processes rather than disrupting them.

How much time can we expect to save?

Based on our research, development teams typically save 3-5 hours per developer per week that would otherwise be spent on manual feature flag management and technical debt reduction.
