What it is

Its client SDKs include JavaScript, React, Next.js, Angular, iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, and Roku. Server SDKs cover Node.js, Go, PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, and.NET. DevCycle supports OpenFeature across its SDKs. Listed integrations include VS Code, Slack, GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, Jira, Terraform, Datadog, Snowflake, Google Analytics, and Rollbar.

There is a free plan with monthly limits and no credit-card requirement. Business costs $500 a month, billed annually, with included usage limits and overage charges. DevCycle states that it is SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant. Its website says it is now part of Dynatrace; the company was founded in 2022 and is headquartered in Toronto.
