The Hidden Cost

Why 73% of Feature Flags Are Never Removed

Feature flags enable safer deployments, but 73% become permanent technical debt. These stale flags cost the average 10-developer team $125,000 annually in lost productivity and increased bugs.

Your team loses 2,600 hours annually to feature flag technical debt

That's equivalent to losing 1.25 full-time developers from your team—permanently.
