Unleash with Egil and Ivar Østhus

Eric Anderson (@ericmander) is joined by Egil (@EgilCo) and Ivar Østhus (@ivarconr), brothers and co-creators of the open-source feature management platform, Unleash. It’s a real family business, with Egil acting as CEO and Ivar the CTO of the company. Over beers and burgers, the two decided to bring their strengths together for a feature toggle tool that transforms DevOps and continuous deployment pipelines.

In this episode we discuss:

• Ivar as a pioneer in the trunk-based development space
• Word of mouth and old colleagues bringing Unleash to new companies
• Assessing a contributor’s personality and mindset
• Resolving a deadlock scenario on a feature launch day without impacting customers
• Why feature flagging is fundamental to true DevOps
