Support for OpenFeature SDK Provider

[kiliczsh]

There is Ruby SDK for no provider: https://github.com/open-feature/ruby-sdk/tree/main/lib/openfeature/sdk/provider

Flipper can be integrated with OpenFeature SDK

open-feature/openfeature.dev#235

Are you asking us to make a provider and saying that the noop provider is the interface we should spec against?

[kiliczsh]

@jnunemaker OpenFeature is a standardization for feature flags. As there is no Ruby provider Flipper can be first one to support OpenFeature. If you have more specific questions may be @beeme1mr can answer them.

@kiliczsh Are you asking us to work on the implementation, or are you offering to work on it?

[bkeepers]

Closing since we never heard back. Support for OpenFeature is not a request we've had from any users or customers, so it's not a priority for us at the moment.

Just FYI, much like we only consider telemetry options that integrate with OpenTelemetry, we are only considering feature flag options that are supported by OpenFeature.

Open feature is a CNCF project now, https://www.cncf.io/projects/openfeature/ and removing third-party vendor code from our business logic is a top priority. So, while you might not have current customers asking for this, you risk losing new customers who take a standards-based approach to building cloud-native tooling.
