Flipt
Flipt es una plataforma de gestión de características nativa de Git y un servidor de feature toggles empresarial. Utiliza repositorios Git como la fuente principal de verdad para las configuraciones de flags de características, implementando un flujo de trabajo GitOps donde la funcionalidad de la aplicación se controla a través del control de versiones.
El sistema se distingue por utilizar pull requests y revisiones de código para cambios de configuración y por proporcionar un protocolo de evaluación neutral respecto al proveedor para garantizar un comportamiento consistente en diferentes herramientas de gestión. Admite operaciones en entornos aislados (air-gapped) con validación de licencia offline para entornos seguros y aislados de internet.
La plataforma cubre una amplia superficie de capacidades, incluyendo definiciones declarativas de flags de características, segmentación de usuarios con despliegues graduales (rollouts) y transmisión de configuración en tiempo real mediante eventos enviados por el servidor (SSE). La seguridad se gestiona mediante firmas de commit criptográficas, integración con gestores de secretos externos y conectividad con proveedores de identidad empresariales. Las herramientas operativas adicionales incluyen registro de auditoría de configuración y exportación de métricas de observabilidad.
Features
- Application Functionality Toggles - Provides a version-controlled mechanism to switch application functionality on or off to control feature availability.
- Feature Toggle Servers - Acts as an enterprise feature toggle server streaming real-time updates via server-sent events.
- Feature Flag Management - Manages complex user targeting and percentage rollouts across multiple environments with strict audit trails.
- User-Specific Targeting Rules - Provides a targeting engine for complex rules and percentage-based rollouts to specific user segments.
- Git-Native Feature Management - Controls application functionality using Git as the source of truth for feature flags and configuration versioning.
- Declarative Schemas - Uses declarative JSON or YAML schemas to define and toggle application behavior.
- Evaluation Engines - Includes an evaluation engine to resolve complex targeting rules and percentage rollouts for users.
- Git-Native Feature Management - Provides a Git-native platform where repositories serve as the source of truth for feature configurations.
- GitOps Workflows - Implements automated delivery of configuration changes through Git pull requests and code reviews.
- Git-Backed Configuration Stores - Uses Git repositories as the primary source of truth for storing and auditing feature flag configurations.
- Configuration Change Review Workflows - Requires manual approval and peer review of configuration changes through pull requests before they are applied to production.
- Review Approval Workflows - Implements a workflow requiring manual approval and peer reviews for configuration updates.
- Air-Gapped Operation Modes - Enables feature management and license validation to operate in secure environments without internet connectivity.
- Evaluation Protocols - Provides a vendor-neutral evaluation protocol ensuring consistent flag behavior across different tools.
- DevOps Automation Tools - Automates the creation of pull requests and merge proposals across version control providers to streamline delivery.
- Environment Synchronizers - Utilizes a branching strategy to isolate and promote configurations across development, staging, and production environments.
- Client-Side Evaluation - Allows clients to evaluate feature flags locally to remove network latency and server dependencies.
- Real-Time Updates - Provides real-time push updates to client devices to ensure feature flag changes are applied instantly.
- Air-Gapped Deployments - Provides offline license validation and operation support for secure, internet-isolated environments.
- Commit Signing - Requires digital signatures on version control commits to ensure the authenticity of configuration changes.
- Server-Sent Events - Uses server-sent events to push real-time configuration updates to connected clients over a persistent connection.
- Vendor-Neutral Communication Standards - Implements a vendor-neutral communication standard to ensure feature evaluations work across different management tools.
- Configuration Encryption - Implements a security layer for encrypting sensitive configuration values and signing commits.
- Cryptographic Identity Verification - Uses cryptographic keys to verify the identity of individuals modifying the configuration.
- Secret Management Integrations - Integrates with external secret managers to retrieve sensitive credentials securely instead of storing them in version control.
- Secret Management Providers - Provides a provider-based system for fetching credentials from cloud or file-based managers.
- Branch-to-Environment Mappers - Maps specific Git branches to isolated deployment environments to maintain distinct configuration sets.
- Vendor-Neutral Evaluation Protocols - Implements a vendor-neutral evaluation protocol to ensure consistent feature flag behavior across different management tools.
- Audit Logging Systems - Maintains comprehensive audit logs of all configuration modifications for full accountability.
- Server Applications - Self-contained feature flag solution.
- Server Applications and Infrastructure - Self-hosted feature flagging solution.
