CloudBees Feature Management

CloudBees Feature Management (formerly Rollout) is an enterprise-ready feature flag management solution, offering robust deployment rules, audience segmentation and an experimentation framework for controlling which audiences are exposed to what features. Feature flagging is a method to show or hide specific software features at runtime. Features are coded with a flag and “released” to production systems, but only exposed to a given user if that user meets the criteria for the experiment.

The vendor states CloudBees Feature Management speeds the pace of development by enabling the delivery of software changes as soon as they are code complete or even for testing an mvp within a subset of users. With CloudBees Feature Management the user can rollout and rollback features, test and target features for specific customer segments for quick feedback and use gradual rollout and rollback capabilities to sidestep the danger of ‘big bang or bust deployments’ by measuring the performance of a feature with varying user traffic. The vendor also asserts that with their high-performance SDKs for most types of web, mobile, and TV apps, CloudBees Feature Management is the right solution for managing features at scale.
