In this video, I show a practical example of a dynamic feature switch system in Golang utilising Go routines. The concept is pretty simple, a Go routine is spun up to watch the feature toggle config file and writes to a channel every x seconds that your application can read.
Feature flags are a really easy way to enable continuous deployments of your applications whilst maintaining control over your available features, even while your application is running.
If you're new to Golang channels or Go routines this video showcases a practical use case of them!
