+## Also known as
+Feature Flag
+
+## Intent
+Used to switch code execution paths based on properties or groupings. Allowing new features to be released, tested
+and rolled out. Allowing switching back to the older feature quickly if needed. It should be noted that this pattern,
+can easily introduce code complexity. There is also cause for concern that the old feature that the toggle is eventually
+going to phase out is never removed, causing redundant code smells and increased maintainability.
+
+![alt text](./etc/feature-toggle.png "Feature Toggle")
+
+## Applicability
+Use the Feature Toogle pattern when
+
+* Giving different features to different users.
+* Rolling out a new feature incrementally.
+* Switching between development and production environments.
+
+## Credits
