It's great to see companies building this category of products once they reach a certain scale where customer experience matters. Gatekeeper from Facebook, LiX from LinkedIn (where I am from), and now you guys. I really like the way Stormcrow taps into data on Hive to enable richer targeting. Any plans on tying Stormcrow to analytics?

Btw, I wrote a quick post based on this trend:

    Hi, Tom. Great post!

    1) How do you synchronize features between micro-services? Each service may have a different state of the feature set during a request.

    2) When you flip the feature on or off, how is that reflected in the UI? Does the UI tell you when the feature propagated to all services?

    Thanks!
