Lightweight alternative to LaunchDarkly built with Bun & SQLite. Zero-latency local evaluation, percentage rollouts, and a sleek React dashboard. Deploy in seconds with Docker, Railway, or Zeabur. 100% Open Source. 🚀
Hello Product Hunt! 👋
I started building OpenFlags because I wanted a way to manage features that felt as lightweight as the apps I was building. I missed the simplicity of just having a toggle that doesn't cost a fortune or slow down my app's critical paths.
Building this with Bun and SQLite has been a blast. It’s small, it’s fast, and you can host it yourself in about 30 seconds. No marketing fluff, no complicated setup—just a simple dashboard and an SDK that stays out of your way.
I'm sharing this today because I'd love to see other people use it, break it, and tell me how to make it better. If you’ve ever felt like feature flags were too "heavy" for your project, I hope OpenFlags brings a bit of that developer joy back to your workflow.
Try https://openflags.dev and tell me what you think! Really looking forward to your feedback and ideas! 🚀
The self-hosted angle is underrated right now. Most feature flag tools force you into SaaS even when your data sensitivity or latency requirements make that a bad fit. Zero-latency local evaluation is the right call. Curious how you handle flag evaluation consistency across edge nodes when there's network partitioning.
I like the No Enterprise Tax angle. Quick observation while checking the site. The product clearly sits in the LaunchDarkly alternative space. Okay, but the homepage barely calls that out.
For devs evaluating feature flag tools, that comparison might instantly anchor the value.
I'm curious if you tested leaning into that contrast more.
