Recap:
headsntails (repository here) is my pet project - a fully decoupled infrastructure built to serve the Feature Flags pattern. It's designed to start as a simple, zero-friction plug-in, with the architectural legs to scale all the way up to a standalone SaaS solution.
Milestones reached to unlock the v0.2 achievement:
- The Rename: The entire ecosystem was officially migrated from "Flagship" to headsntails.
- Full Test Coverage: Added dedicated unit test suites for each separate service, backed by full E2E testing for the entire distributed system.
- State & Hydration: Implemented a single source of truth, local caching, and automatic Redis hydration on startup.
- Code Health: Handled minor optimizations and foundational refactoring across the codebase.
It was tedious groundwork - the "you really better do it now" one, which pays dividends later.
By clearing this out, we are now standing right in front of the main architectural twist: full gRPC communication.
For the upcoming v0.3 release, the target is "simply" eliminating the obvious bottleneck: HTTP communication between the Go Core and the Python Rate-Limiter.
Stay tuned!
