[@FarmGirlChronicles]

Thank you very much for your thorough explanation

[@jasper5016]

This is a fantastic video. Thanks so much, Dave. I am surprised to see a low no of subscribers. Your content is top-notch.

[@CoderDave]

I appreciate that! Thanks for your kind words :)

[@jamessnell2572]

Great video, though I found the background music kind of distracting, maybe just a little too loud for me? Anyway, still great, thank you CoderDave

[@CoderDave]

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I’ve experimented with music in some of the videos but I don’t usually use it 🙂

[@abhishekchhugani618]

Love your videos. Can u make a detailed video on Feature Environments? (on demand environment for feature branches in azure). I have a react app. I want to have a seperate environment for every feature branch I create. Build should trigger automatically on feature branch update and pipeline should deploy on an env created on demand specific to that feature branch. Env URL should have feature branch name in it. Once the feature branch is merged to master via a PR, feature branch should be deleted and on demand feature environment corresponding to it should also be deleted

[@CoderDave]

Thanks! Yep that is a good idea for a video about FF and IaC ☺️ will do it in January, I’m relocating to a new studio now 😁

[@alistairrwillis]

Background music. Aghhh!

[@CoderDave]

yeah, I don't use that anymore... was just an experiment

[@WILLYNOTWALLY]

What are the feature flags

[@CoderDave]

Well… watch the video, it’s all explained there…

[@eth6706]

This video could've been 3 minutes if you hadn't repeated yourself so many times

[@CoderDave]

Just wanted to make sure the message came across ;)
