+# Feature Flags
+
+This demo comes with several feature flags which can control failure conditions
+in specific services. By default the flags are disabled. Using the Feature Flags
+UI <http://localhost:8081> you will be able to control the status of these
+feature flags.
+
+| Feature Flag            | Service(s)      | Description                                                               |
