During the initial Feature Flag implementation in DPAS, the architecture team recognized that a new microservice would be required to properly manage and access services like the Feature Flag. This requirement is in support of the DPAS modernization effort.

 

Implement a Service Management microservice. While the microservice will be usable for additional processes later, the initial use will be for the Feature Flag. We will create API endpoints to retrieve feature flags from the feature_flag table and synchronously retrieve enabled features associated to its microservice on start-up. We will also develop a UI for users with a certain role (e.g., Feature Flag Manager) to turn the feature flag on/off via toggle switch. When a change is made, an event will fire to log/notify the subscriber that the feature flag change occurred.

 

It is critical for DPAS standard system functionality to implement a microservice for service management.

 

The recommended solutions will improve service management.
