Reviewer scorecard
“The most feature-complete flag platform. Targeting rules, segments, and experimentation are production-grade.”
“Single binary with auth, database, file storage, and real-time. Deploy your backend with one file. Incredible for small projects.”
“Expensive for what amounts to conditional logic. PostHog flags, Vercel Flags, or Unleash cover most needs at lower cost.”
“The simplicity is its superpower. For prototypes, side projects, and small apps, nothing is faster to deploy.”
“Feature flags as infrastructure for safe deployment will be universal. LaunchDarkly defined the category.”
“Single-binary backends democratize backend development. PocketBase proves you don't need cloud services for small apps.”
