Basestack Docs

Overview

Welcome to Basestack Feature Flags! A powerful platform that helps you deploy, test, and roll out features safely. Whether you're a developer, product manager, or team lead, this documentation will help you master feature flagging.

The project is currently in preview, and while some elements may evolve based on feedback, its core functionality is production-ready. Keep an eye out for updates and changes, as there may be alterations to your instance that could potentially cause disruptions.

What Are Feature Flags?

Feature flags (also called feature toggles) are powerful tools that let you:

  • Deploy Safely - Release code without enabling features immediately
  • Test in Production - Enable features for specific users or environments
  • Roll Back Instantly - Disable features without redeploying code
  • A/B Test - Experiment with different feature variants
  • Control Rollouts - Gradually enable features for your user base

Feature flags enable continuous deployment by allowing you to deploy code that's disabled by default, then enable it when ready. This reduces risk and increases deployment confidence.
