Cleaning up old flags

Flags are meant to be temporary. A short routine keeps them from piling up.

Every flag you add is a branch in your code. Left alone, they pile up until nobody knows which ones still matter.

A monthly routine

  1. List flags that have been fully on or off for 30 days
  2. For each one, remove the old code path and the flag check
  3. Archive the flag in the dashboard

The GitHub integration finds the references for you and opens the clean-up as a suggested change.
