In their own words
DevCycle
DevCycle is a feature flag platform for creating, rolling out, and cleaning up flags. Teams can target releases using user attributes, then release them gradually, on a schedule, or in multiple steps. A/B and multivariate experiments can be measured with events and metrics, and APIs allow remote management of flags, targeting, rollouts, and experiments.
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.
Featurevisor
Featurevisor is a Git-based tool for managing feature flags, experiments and remote configuration through YAML files in a Git repository. Teams build datafiles for each environment, deploy them and evaluate features through an SDK. Rules can target users in order, roll out a percentage and assign weighted experiment variations. Typed global and feature variables allow defaults and targeted overrides, with schemas validated during datafile builds. Applications fetch static JSON datafiles and evaluate flags locally in memory, without a network request for each decision; the datafiles are served from the customer’s own CDN. YAML test specifications can check expected behavior locally or in CI, with failed assertions returning a non-zero exit. Git pull requests and CI linting, tests and builds provide change control. Featurevisor is self-hosted and MIT-licensed. Its free plan is free, with no per-seat pricing or evaluation service to keep running. Listed platforms include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows.
