Michael Chan Encapsulates State
One of the things Michael loves about React is that it's a lot easier to make a black box of abstraction with iron-clad React components that don't leak.Something that concerns Michael deeply about any technology is when we put too much inside of it. We saw this pretty early on in React, where everyone was taking all manner of state and putting it into Redux. We have to think about the principle of co-location and the fact that the closer you put related things together, the easier it will be to maintain in the longterm.

Microservices is a different paradigm. And so, there's a lot of training that goes involved for different people to understand the various deployment processes.

So what if a feature works in staging, that's great, but you should care if the feature works in production, that's what matters.An excellent tool for testing in production is feature flagging. Feature flagging allows you to separate your code deployment from your feature release.
