Define a Feature Flag in the Glossary #47

Closed beeme1mr closed 2 years ago

beeme1mr commented 2 years ago

The term feature flag is used throughout the project. A formal definition of what that means should be added to the glossary.

My general one-sentence description is usually something like: "A mechanism which allows an engineer to define alternative codepaths within a deployed piece of software, and then choose between those codepaths at runtime based on some sort of decision criteria"

Thanks @moredip! I added a slight variation of your suggestion.
