Django Waffle is lightweight and straightforward for feature flipping
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Django Waffle makes it extremely easy to not only synchronize product development across a team, but also allows users to toggle features on and off during the testing phase. I appreciate the user-friendly syntax of this software and how quickly the implementation allows us to iterate on features during client review.
