.NET Database Feature Management

.NET Feature Management Database extends Microsoft.FeatureManagement for retrieving feature definitions from various databases. It provides a robust, database-driven approach to feature flags that integrates smoothly with the .NET ecosystem.

Why Database Feature Management?

Using a database for feature flag management provides several benefits:

• Centralized storage - Maintain all feature flags in one persistent location
• Dynamic updates - Change feature settings without application redeployment
• Shared configuration - Consistent feature state across multiple application instances
• Audit trail - Track changes to feature flags over time (when using DB capabilities)
• Complex targeting rules - Store and evaluate sophisticated enabling conditions

Key Features

• Multiple database providers - Support for Entity Framework Core, Dapper, MongoDB, NHibernate, and Cosmos DB
• Caching support - Improve performance with built-in caching mechanisms
• ASP.NET Core integration - Seamless integration with web applications
• Flexible configuration - Extend default implementations for custom scenarios
• Standard entity model - Pre-configured entities for features and feature settings
• Filtering capabilities - Use Microsoft's feature filters for targeting specific audiences

Quick Start Example

// Add the service
services.AddDatabaseFeatureManagement<MyFeatureStore>()
    .WithCacheService();

// Use in your application
if (await featureManager.IsEnabledAsync("BetaFeature"))
{
    // Beta feature code here
}
