Flipt Cloud simplifies feature management, storing all flag configuration in your GitHub repositories so you always control your data. Deploy, test, and roll back features effortlessly, treating feature flags as code for seamless releases and faster iteration.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 We're super excited to launch Flipt Cloud today!
Flipt Cloud is a fully managed feature management service designed to make it easier for teams to scale and control their feature flags without the overhead of managing infrastructure. We offer a generous free plan, so you can use Flipt Cloud without barriers. And for those who prefer to self-host, our open-source version of Flipt supports many databases and stores like S3—free to run on your own infrastructure.
Why did we build this?
- We're developers, not product managers. We built the feature management solution we wish we had at previous companies like GitHub, InfluxDB, and CodeShip.
- We believe feature flags are another form of configuration data, and configuration should live near your code. Feature flags are evaluated in code and can benefit from best practices like version control and code review, enabling things like instant rollbacks and approval workflows.
- By storing configuration (like feature flags) in Git, developers can use tools they already know and love. This allows for testing changes in isolation, adding validation and code generation via CI, and easily mirroring production state locally for testing and reproducing bugs.
We’re still iterating on these ideas and would love any feedback if this resonates with you!
What makes Flipt Cloud different from our Open Source version?
- Fully managed: Flipt Cloud takes care of everything, from scaling to maintenance, while Flipt Open Source requires you to manage deployments.
- Scalability: Flipt Cloud easily handles enterprise-level traffic, so you can focus on building, not infrastructure.
- Git-backed storage: Flipt Cloud stores all feature flag configurations in your GitHub repos, ensuring data control and versioning. Our Open Source version supports GitOps workflows but requires manual setup.
- User management: Flipt Cloud has built-in authentication, social login, and SSO, while Open Source requires manual configuration.
- Role-based access control: Flipt Cloud offers an easy-to-use RBAC system right from the UI, while Open Source uses Open Policy Agent for RBAC, which requires more setup.
We’d love to hear your feedback and answer any questions! Thanks for checking out Flipt Cloud—we can't wait to see how it helps your team!
Congrats on the launch! Flipt Cloud sounds like a fantastic solution for managing feature flags. I love the idea of storing configurations in GitHub repos and the fully managed service. It really simplifies the process and keeps everything version-controlled.
Do you have plans to support other version control systems like GitLab or Bitbucket in the future?
Looking forward to trying it out!
congrats on the launch! This looks quite a bit more affordable than some of the other options. Nice one! 🚀
Congrats on the launch! Given that Flipt is open source, what are the biggest benefits you see that come from that?
Congrats for your cloud offer! If it will be as good as the OSS version it is gonna be be awesome to use!
congrats on the launch folks, this looks awesome! quick question: how does Flipt Cloud compare to some other feature flagging providers?
@mark_phelps Does the platform allow for different environments (like dev, staging, production) to have distinct flag configurations? Overall loving the idea.
Simplifying feature management and integrating it with GitHub repositories is such a smart move. @mark_phelps Excellent job on that project. Well done.
