At $lastJob$ we had a home-grown solution. My contribution was a simple expression language that created an algebra of flags. Things like `(A | B) && C` or `from: 2027-01-01 && to: 2027-12-31` and so forth. The idea was to enable PMs to do a lot of the feature management directly, and then to use the patterns that arise organically to discover what we would need when we were ready to pay for a SaaS solution.
