Overview

In this stage, we focus on initializing the different open-source components of Flagbase. The outcome of this project will determine whether we continue pursuing this endeavor or not. We will use this stage to validate the idea. During this stage we will focus on developing our OSS components. We will also lay the foundations for our development practices and build a strong engineering community.

Read our blog post for more details regarding the MVP (aka stage 0).

Success Metrics

We’ll use the following metrics to determine whether or not we’ll continue with this project. We expect to satisfy these conditions by:

  • Stars >= 100

  • Forks >= 30

  • Discussion posts >= 100

Note: we will need to filter out internal stat boosters. We can’t count our own stars, forks, discussion posts etc, in order to ensure integrity.

MVP requirements

  • As a user, I’m able to manage feature flags via the core’s REST API.

  • As a user, I’m able to target users by a set of rules I specify, which can also be weighted.

  • As a developer, I’m able to use the Javascript SDK to get evaluated feature flags for a particular project.

Stories / Tasks Breakdown

Below we’ve scoped out the work required for each software component.

 Persona definitions

Persona

Description

Developer

  • People who contribute Flagbase product(s). This includes members of the OSS & COM development teams.

  • People who integrate Flagbase into their own applications. Including

    • Users who self-hosting the core

    • SDK users

User

  • People who make use of Flagbase product(s). Some usage examples:

    • Using the Core’s REST API to programmatically manage resources

    • Using the UI to edit targeting rules

SDK consumer

  • Third-party entity that’s integrated with Flagbase.

Observer

  • Represents a indirect user of Flagbase product(s). These include

    • Users of applications that integrate with Flagbase.

  • AKA identities (core resource) ~ consists of an identifier with a set of traits.

core

given that I’m authorized.

As a user,
I want to manage targeting rules programmatically,
so that I can target specific segments or identities.

As a user,

which represents observers,
so that I can categorize via segments,
given that I’m authorized.

Segments

As a user,
I want to group users based on their characteristics programmatically,

given that I’m authorized.

Evaluation

As a observer
I want to evaluate a flag programmatically,
so that I can get my desired variation,
given my relevant traits.

Local development

As a developer,
I want to easily run the core locally,
given that it can automatically reload,
so that I can contribute to the project.

Client API

As a developer,
I want to construct a client via a singleton,
given I can modify the instance configuration later in runtime,
so I only need one instance of the client in my application.

Interface Design / Implementation

As a user
I want to be able to interact with the flagset
in an intuitive way

As a observer,
I want to dynamically set my traits,
so I can see the most relevant flag variation.

Polling (transport)

As an SDK consumer,
I want to frequently get evaluated flagsets,
given that I provide the relevant observer context (i.e. traits),
so I can display the correct flag variation that observer.

Local development

As a developer,
I want to run a storybook,
so I can test out its features locally.

Packaging & deployment

As a developer,
I want to fetch the library through npm / yarn
so I can easily integrate SDK with my application.

Continuous integration

As a developer,
I want to verify my PR can be merged,
so that I don’t break the latest branch.
