Cloudflare Flagship

Worth noticing a Vercel equivalent: https://github.com/vercel/flags
fastball•30m ago
That is actually their SDK / provider agnostic library. The better parallel to this new Cloudflare offering is Vercel Flags[1] (confusing I know)

Cloudflare are winning these days, they’re just lacking good fine grained permissions. You still have to make an entirely separate account for prod, which messes up SSO since one domain can only be bound to one account.
atsaloli•43m ago
Yes! I just opened a support case today asking for more fine grained permissions.
pupppet•35m ago
After years of AWS I gave Cloudflare a whirl and loved the UX but ultimately retreated back due to the same concern. They are so close though..

Just let everyone have access to prod?
toomuchtodo•22m ago
Poor access and change management governance.
corvad•20m ago
One account gets compromised and your doomed. A lot of companies even have prod access be a request based system. Most modern security models with zero trust don't let everyone have access to everything, quite the opposite.
greenchair•17m ago
hooboy that was a good one!
corvad•17m ago
Their products are cool and I've been happy with them over the years, but their blog right now has had some blunders recently. Also their reliability seems to have been having trouble but does seem better recently.

If anyone is interested, you can implement something like that with a few lines of code on the front end. We expose a function that generates a uniformly-distributed hash that you can use for A/B testing and other uses:

  Q.Data.variant()
https://github.com/Qbix/Q.js/blob/main/src/js/Q.minimal.js#L...

And on the back end, you'd use it like this:

https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/blob/main/platform/classes/...

Essentially, this can support a huge number of "variants" and within each variant you can have N equal segments. That will help you do A/B testing and flipping features on or off.

OpenFeature was new to me, neat! Anyone have experience integrating this? https://openfeature.dev
Atotalnoob•14m ago
It’s pretty useful. We used it at a previous company. We built a custom backend, but used the spec and SDKs.

It took like 2 weeks to build a full custom backend. SDKs across languages worked flawlessly (okay, we did find one bug, reported it, and it was fixed within the day)

Has anyone struggled to run their own feature flagging service? After root causing slow app starts to be caused by the equivalent offering from Firebase, I've been cautious to use any off the shelf solutions
dboreham•13m ago
It's literally a field in your database. I could never fathom why this needs to be an outsourced service never mind an entire company.
youngprogrammer•9m ago
It can get complicated quickly if you're actually using it in a production system. At my prev enterprise saas company we had feature flags that could be turned on per customer / per environment (dev, staging, prod) with permission + logging model such that our support team could also toggle flags with history of who turned on what. We also had "per user" feature flags for certain test users at companies and had DSL rules to evaluate the features
