If you are looking for an experimentation/feature flag style tool that is quick to adopt and provides enough functionality for light/medium use cases, then this is the tool for you. Additionally, they are growing and expanding their functionality and feature set so they can grow alongside you and your needs. The publicly accessible roadmap is also a great benefit to see where time is being spent on which feature next.

I would recommend that engineers look to try Django Waffle for feature development within a team setting; it really streamlines flipping features on and off for testing. I think the simplicity of Django Waffle is pretty great, but it may be a limitation for those developing far more complex products.

At iBinder we searched for and vetted several suppliers of a feature toggle service to handle feature toggling in our production environment. In addition to our functional requirements, it was crucial for us to find a partner that could deliver an EU-compliant service. We finally decided to sign a service agreement with ConfigCat. This has been a real success story for us – in addition to being compliant, ConfigCat delivers an amazing, flexible, and reliable service. They continue to impress by also being very transparent and having a fantastic support and they are very solution oriented and accommodating when it comes to our feature requests etc. We have now used ConfigCat for approximately 2 years and we give our warmest recommendations to anyone who needs a stable, reliable and EU-compliant feature toggle service.

I found Django Waffle to work seamlessly with my Django-native codebase, and the implementation was extremely fast and intuitive. Gargoyle offers a bit more in the way of building more complicated code segments, but it's also more complex to implement. I use Django Waffle for nearly every project involving feature flipping.

Return on Investment
ConfigCat
  • Allowed us to migrate seamlessly from a major customer communication system to another, reducing end-user friction and production bugs by being able to turn features off if they didn't work as intended.
  • We went from zero experimentation to running 10-20 experiments concurrently across systems. Engineering teams are thinking in an experimentation mindset.
