Structure API to work with Beta versions
So I'm working on a mobile app that relies on a REST API
But now I've hit a roadblock that I'd like to get to understand before I even begin the process of actual development
Since the backend is written in ASP.NET I figured I'd ask here
Let's say I have a list of release users and a list of beta users
How would I achieve that beta users have access to new features that are being tested while still being able to communicate to the release servers so the beta users aren't fully cut off off the regular userbase
What would be the workflow for that and is that even the right way to do it

sounds like you are looking for what is often called "feature flags" or "feature toggles"
my dev team and i have decided to kinda just "not render beta features on the release version"
its not like the release version could render that anyways
ive made that issue sound bigger than it actually is
