Software development troublemaker wearing different hats (programmer, architect, trainer, change agent). Mateusz contributes to the open-source feature management platform Unleash and tries to make feature toggle users awesome.

Basic feature flags gave teams on/off control over what users see, decoupling code deployments from feature releases.
More advanced targeted flags let us release the right features, to the right people, at the right time.
But in 2026, the challenge isn't toggling — it's managing the entire feature lifecycle from idea to impact.
Packed with lessons from production, live demos, and a healthy dose of engineering humor - you’ll learn:
* How to build runtime feature management into your architecture
* How to find bottlenecks in your feature lifecycle
* How to make releases consistently boring
* How to make releases that monitor themselves
