Phased Rollout Configuration: A Comprehensive Approach for Feature Releases in Software Systems

Mahidhar Mullapudi

Abstract: Effective feature rollout strategies are crucial for ensuring a smooth and controlled deployment of new functionalities in software systems. This paper introduces a novel approach to phased rollouts using an advanced configuration library. The library facilitates the configuration of feature rollouts based on the type of entity, allowing for fine - grained control and flexibility. This paper explores the key principles, design considerations, and implementation details of the proposed rollout configuration library. Through practical examples, we demonstrate how this approach enhances the reliability, manageability, and customization of feature deployments in complex software environments. Additionally, the paper outlines essential criteria for deploying this library in large - scale projects.
