What is ConfigCat?

ConfigCat allows the user to launch new features and change software configuration without (re)deploying code. ConfigCat SDKs enable easy integration with any web, mobile or backend applications. The ConfigCat website enables non-developers too to switch ON/OFF application features or change software configuration. This way the user can decouple feature launches and configuration from code deployment.

ConfigCat Keeps On Meowing

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I need real time choices and feature gates i can utlize to safely roll out features for users. I'm not a huge company, so i need a configuration that is adaptable, asynchronous and manageable for any type of data i need. Uptime and availability, and ease of integration are a must.

Pros

  • highly customizable, but incredibly easy to use.
  • one of the best interfaces in the field.
  • cute logo and name.

Cons

  • Make it easier to pull all configs in a snapshot with a timeout so apps can use this as a precursor to allowing the user access.

Return on Investment

  • Able to ship quickly, without worrying about finishing all features (gating)
  • Able to use user IDs to get users access to features that i don't want everyone to see.
