FeatureHub is a Cloud Native platform to help software teams manage their features, from feature flags (also known as feature toggles) to A/B experiments and remote or centralised configuration.

FeatureHub is available as a self-hosted Open Source service and as a cloud based SaaS service.

This is the primary source code repository for FeatureHub Open Source.

FeatureHub SaaS - join hosted cloud service

FeatureHub service is now available as a SaaS offering. You can join today here. No credit card required and a 30-day free trial is available.

Documentation specific to SaaS service can be found here

FeatureHub Open Source - Install with Docker (evaluation mode)

$ docker run -p 8085:8085 --user 999:999 -v $HOME/party:/db featurehub/party-server:latest

Once installed, head to http://localhost:8085 to see FeatureHub Admin Console in action

Connect to FeatureHub in your app via SDK

1. Create an application, an environment and a feature from the Admin Console

2. Create and copy the API Key (client or server eval) from the Admin Console on the API Keys page.

3. Create FeatureHub config and start using feature flags in your app (see Typescript example below). For more SDKs and examples please see here

import {
  EdgeFeatureHubConfig,
} from 'featurehub-javascript-client-sdk';

const edgeUrl = 'http://localhost:8085/'; // for SaaS version, replace with edge URL provided in the API Keys page
const apiKey = 'default/3f7a1a34-642b-4054-a82f-1ca2d14633ed/aH0l9TDXzauYq6rKQzVUPwbzmzGRqe*oPqyYqhUlVC50RxAzSmx';

const fhConfig = new EdgeFeatureHubConfig(edgeUrl, apiKey);

fhConfig.init();
const fhClient = await fhConfig.newContext().build();
if(fhClient.getFlag('FEATURE_KEY')) {
  // do something
}
else {
  //do something else
}

FeatureHub API

Headless API is available to manage FeatureHub app if you require automation or prefer not to use Admin Console to manage features. API is provided in OpenAPI format and can be imported into Postman or similar tools. Follow this documentation to generate access tokens.

SDK API is also available. This is an API that is used to retrieve feature states in various SDKs that we provide. Open API file can be located here

Contributing

FeatureHub is an open source project, and we love to receive contributions from our community! There are many ways to contribute, from writing tutorials or blog posts, improving the documentation, submitting bug reports and feature requests or writing code which can be incorporated into FeatureHub itself.

Further information for contributors

If you have reviewed the Architecture section of the FeatureHub documentation you will notice there are several components. FeatureHub is designed this way to allow to scale from a single application option to large organisations serving billions of requests for features per day.
