Tried feature flags, but it ended up being a mess. Went back to dev/master branches with automated tests between them using standard GitHub workflows.

The mess is what I‘m concerned about—I don’t want to introduce new complexity if I can avoid it.

idk, feature flags for the entire application seem ok to me. The issue is when we want to add feature flags for part of the users, or only on a part of the application flow. Then it will become a mess.

Where I work, those feature flags are used to deploy a feature for a single application "run time", i.e. a country, which has its own cloud and everything.

BTW have you read the article on feature flags on Fowler's website? Could help you form some opinions https://martinfowler.com/articles/feature-toggles.html
