Known client implementations:
Unleash is a feature toggle system, that gives you a great overview over all feature toggles across
all your applications and services. It comes with client implementations for Java and Node, and it is
easy fairly easy to develop client implementaiton for your favourite language.
The main motivation for doing feature toggling is to decouple the process for deploying code to production
and releasing new features. This helps reducing risk, and allow us to easily manage which features to enable

## Activation strategies
It's fine to have a system for turning stuff on and off. But some times we want more granular controll,
we want to decide who to the toggle should be enabled for. This is where activation strategies comes in to
the picture. Activation strategies takes arbitrary config and allows us to enable a toggle in various ways.
Common activation strategies includes:
- Active For users with a specified userId
- GradualRollout to X-percent of our users
- Active for our beta users
- Active only for application instances running on host x.
Read more about activation strategies in [docs/acitvation-strategues.md](docs/acitvation-strategues.md)
## Client implementations
- [unleash-client-java](https://github.com/unleash/unleash-client-java)
- [unleash-client-node](https://github.com/unleash/unleash-client-node)
- (you implementaiton here!)
Client implentations makes it is easy for developers to check whether a toggle is enabled or disabled.
```
if(unleash.isEnabled("AwesomeFeature")) {
//do some magic
} else {
//do old boring stuff
}
```
