Unleash is an enterprise ready feature toggles service. It provides different strategies for handling feature toggles.
Unleash is a powerful open source solution for feature management. It streamlines your development workflow, accelerates software delivery, and empowers teams to control how and when they roll out new features to end users. With Unleash, you can deploy code to production in smaller, more manageable releases at your own pace.
Feature flags in Unleash let you test your code with real production data, reducing the risk of negatively impacting your users' experience. It also enables your team to work on multiple features simultaneously without the need for separate feature branches.
Unleash is the most popular open source solution for feature flagging on GitHub. It supports 15 official client and server SDKs and over 15 community SDKs. You can even create your own SDK if you wish. Unleash is compatible with any language and framework.
To get started with Unleash, you need git and docker installed on your machine.
Execute the following commands:
git clone git@github.com:Unleash/unleash.git
cd unleash
docker compose up -d
Then point your browser to localhost:4242 and log in using:
adminunleash4allIf you'd rather run the source code in this repo directly via Node.js, see the step-by-step instructions to get up and running in the contributing guide.
Find your preferred SDK in our list of official SDKs and import it into your project. Follow the setup guides for your specific SDK.
If you use the docker compose file from the previous step, here's the configuration details you'll need to get going:
http://localhost:4242/api/frontend/clientKey: default:development.unleash-insecure-frontend-api-tokenhttp://localhost:4242/api/default:development.unleash-insecure-api-tokenIf you use a different setup, your configuration details will most likely also be different.
Checking the state of a feature flag in your code is easy! The syntax will vary depending on your language, but all you need is a simple function call to check whether a flag is available. Here's how it might look in Java:
if (unleash.isEnabled("AwesomeFeature")) {
// do new, flashy thing
} else {
// do old, boring stuff
}
If you don't want to run Unleash locally, we also provide easy deployment setups for Heroku and Digital Ocean:
The above sections show you how to get up and running quickly and easily. When you're ready to start configuring and customizing Unleash for your own environment, check out the documentation for getting started with self-managed deployments, Unleash configuration options, or running Unleash locally via docker.
