> Nowadays - flip a toggle in the admin. Deployments and releases are separated.

Would you mind explaining this a little further? How does the separation allow you to flip a switch in the admin?

AFAIU this is making use of feature flags.

Uploading new code to a server where the new-code is behind a disabled feature flag means the program hasn't changed. The feature flag can be enabled when it's suitable. (This could even be 'rolled out' to only a subset of users; e.g. testers, internal, 10% of users, etc.)

deploy = put the code on the server, release = enable the feature flags
