S9 Bonus: The Edge-Computing Architecture Blueprint: Breaking Server Latency and Scaling Developer-First Feature Flags with Jonathan Norris, Co-Founder & CTO of DevCycle & Taplytics
Jan 4, 2024 · Season 9 · 32 min
Feature flagging based on OpenFeature protocl
Jonathan Norris lives in Toronto, and has a passion for tech that started early in his life. He has participated in the First Robotics competition, which got him into mechanical engineering, building robots, and leading teams to world championships. He still actively volunteers and mentors people in the program today. Outside of tech, he is a new Dad, and stays quite busy parenting his kid, when he's not riding an eBike to work.
In Winter 2014, Jonathan and his founding team did Y-combinator and formed Taplytics. After doing this for nearly 10 years, what his team noticed was the most passionate users were developers using feature flagging over the core offering of the product. So - they decided to spin out a new brand, to focus on just that.
This is the creation story of DevCycle.
