  • Lifetime: Medium - until we get enough data to make experiment summary

Ops Toggles

For features that have unclear long time / performance implications which needs investigation and fix at certain conditions or as Kill Switches when we agreed to performance implications and need make system realiabe at certaint conditons quickly.

  • Configuration type: dynamic - we need to switch on/off immediately
  • Lifetime: Medium - if we decide to check and fix feature
  • Lifetime: Long - if we decide not to fix but disable feature under certain condtions (Kill Switch)
