Unleash the open-source feature management platform. It provides a great overview over all feature toggles/flags across all your applications and services. Unleash enables software teams all over the world to take full control on how they enabled new functionality to end users.

Unleash comes with official client SDKs for all the popular languages.

Features

  • Boolean feature toggles (on/off)
  • Canary release (Gradual rollout)
  • Targeted release
  • Experimentation (A/B testing)
  • Kill Switches
  • Custom activation strategies
  • Privacy first (GDPR) where end-user data never leaves your application
  • Audit logs
  • Addons integrating with other popular tools (Slack, Teams, Datadog, etc.)
  • It is secure (Enable Secure Headers with strict HTTPS only mode)
  • High performance with evaluations on the client side read more in our docs
  • Dashboard to manage technical debt
  • Admin APIs

In addition we have built Unleash Enterprise with additional advanced functionality:

  • Project support
  • Advanced segmentation
  • Support
  • SSO (SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, etc)
  • A Hosted offering where the Unleash team host, monitor, scale, upgrades and take full backups for your.

Client SDKs

In order to connect your application to Unleash you need to use a client SDK for your programming language.

Official Server SDKs:

Official Frontend Unleash Proxy SDKs:

In addition there exists a good list of community developed SDKs, so there might already exist an implementation for your favorite programming language (PHP, Elixir, Dart, Rust, Clojure, NestJS, Kotlin and more.)

What is a feature toggle?

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

Feature toggles decouple deployment of code from release of new features

This repo contains the unleash-server, which contains the Unleash Admin UI and the Unleash API. In order to make use of unleash you will also need a client SDK.

Activation strategies

It's fine to have a system for turning stuff on and off. But some times we want more granular control, we want to decide who to the toggle should be enabled for. This is where activation strategies comes in to the picture. Activation strategies take 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 our docs.

The Client API

The client SDKs provides a simple abstraction making it easy to check feature toggles in your application. The code snippet below shows how you would use Unleash in Java.

if (unleash.isEnabled("AwesomeFeature")) {
  //do some magic
} else {
  //do old boring stuff
}

Running Unleash Service

Run it yourself

Unleash is open source and you are free to run your own instance. Please refer to the getting-started-guide to learn how to run the Unleash Service.

Unleash as a Service (SaaS)

After numerous request we have created a separate company, Unleash-hosted, which offer Unleash as a Service. Unleash-hosted allows you to focus on you core business and have someone else taking care of hosting and maintaining Unleash.

Go to getunleash.io to learn more about this offering and start using Unleash today. This service also includes official support.
