Wrap code in a flag, then toggle it per environment, per user, per segment, or by percentage - no redeploy required: Flagsmith is an open-source feature flag and remote config platform. Every flag doubles as remote config, carrying string, number, or JSON values, so functional and visual changes ship to production without a code push. Segments are the targeting engine: build them from stored user traits, then release to beta testers first, test in production by exposing features only to internal teams, or run canary deployments to a small percentage before going wide - segment membership changes instantly without app updates. Multivariate flags split traffic across two or more variations for A/B/n testing, with flag events flowing into Amplitude, Mixpanel, or Segment for analysis. SDKs cover 15+ languages including TypeScript, .NET, Java, Python, and Go, with framework support for React, Next.js, and mobile, plus local evaluation for latency-sensitive paths. Organizations, projects, and roles keep multi-team setups tidy. Core functionality - unlimited flags, remote config, targeting, multivariate flags - is BSD-3-Clause licensed with an explicit commitment that it stays open. Self-hosting suits privacy-conscious teams: flag rules and user traits stay on your infrastructure, deployable via Docker or Kubernetes with Helm.

Deployment decoupled from release: Unleash, the most popular open-source feature management platform on GitHub, is a Node.js server backed by PostgreSQL. Ship code dark, then control who sees it through activation strategies: gradual percentage rollouts, targeting by user ID, IP, hostname, or application name, custom constraints against your own context fields, and scheduled or time-limited releases. Strategies stack - a flag activates if any strategy matches - and strategy variants layer A/B versions on top of the on/off decision. Each flag carries per-environment configurations, so a feature can run at 100% in staging while canarying at 5% in production. Backend SDKs (Node.js, Java, Go, Python, Ruby, .NET, PHP, Rust, and more) fetch configuration and evaluate flags locally, so a flag check adds zero network latency to request paths; frontend SDKs for React, Vue, Svelte, iOS, Android, and Flutter evaluate through a proxy layer. Flag hygiene is built in: flags are typed (release, experiment, operational, kill-switch, permission) with expected lifetimes, and Unleash marks overdue flags as potentially stale and surfaces unknown flags your SDKs request but that don't exist. Self-hosting via Docker keeps flag data, targeting rules, and evaluation infrastructure entirely on your side.
