I don't dispute that good CI is facilitated by committing early and often but difference do feature flags really make? You still need to roll out features whether you tie that to versions or not.

If you're looking for performance regressions as you roll out feature flags, do you get any kind of support for that from built in dashboards? How do you get clean metrics if you only have one version and a bunch of teams turning knobs?

SOA/Microservices have a lot of headaches but you do get the option for very tightly scoped deployments or feature rollouts.
