This episode is brought to you by our friends at LaunchDarkly, feature management for the modern enterprise, power testing and production at any scale. Here's how it works. LaunchDarkly enables development teams and operation teams to deploy code at any time. Even if a feature isn't ready to release to users, wrapping code with feature flags gives you the safety to test new features and infrastructure in your production environments without impacting the wrong end users when you're ready to release more widely, update the flag status and the changes are made instantaneously by their real time streaming architecture.

Let's chat a little bit about that. What are some fun contributions that you feel that you've
