## What it is
Django Waffle is a feature flag (feature flipper) library for Django that lets you define conditions under which a flag is active. It integrates with Django views, templates, and middleware to enable gradual rollouts and experimentation.

## Use cases
- toggle features on and off in a django app without deploys
- roll out a new feature to a percentage of users
- run a/b tests on django views and templates
- enable features only for specific users or groups
- manage experimental feature switches in django

## When to choose
- you run a django application and need feature flags
- you want percentage-based or user-targeted feature rollouts
- you need flags usable in templates, views, and middleware

## When to avoid
- your project is not django-based
- you need a language-agnostic or hosted feature flag service
- you need advanced experimentation analytics out of the box
