Feature switch is a way to switch off or on a feature on a working software during runtime. We can use configuration or condition to achieve this.

It all started with submitting my chatops talk to some open call for papers in April 2016. After giving the talk in CodeMotion Dubai, I felt chatops is a useful topic. Everyone working in software development can leverage it to make their life easier. My talk was a Laravel centered version of the same talk.

I had given a talk in the PHP Developers Nepal meetup #14 in Aug 2014 about Rabbit Mq and Symfony. This time the meetup took place at Prime College today. There were 2 regular talks for this meetup and one 5 minute lightening talk about the community. For this 16th installment, we did an open discussion for the first time. The topic of open discussion was "Does automated deployment and DevOps add value to the organization?". It was the highlight of the event.
