Introduction

From time to time, we may introduce new features that are not yet ready for general availability. These features are considered experimental and may change or be removed in future releases. We encourage you to try these features and provide feedback to help us improve them.

​
Enabling Experimental Features

These features are disabled by default. To enable them, you can set the experimental.{feature}.enabled configuration option to true in your Flipt configuration file.

For example to enable the foo experimental feature:

config.yaml
experimental:
  foo:
    enabled: true

You can also enable experimental features using environment variables. For example, to enable the foo experimental feature, you can set the FLIPT_EXPERIMENTAL_FOO_ENABLED environment variable to true.

​
Current Experimental Features

The following is a list of our current experimental features and a brief description of each.

Make sure you have the latest version of the Flipt CLI installed on your local machine.

​
Cloud

Introduced in v1.42.0.

Flipt Enterprise Cloud enables you to continue to use Flipt’s feature management capabilities while keeping your feature data on-premises but still benefiting from our cloud-based management console.

With Flipt Enterprise Cloud you get the following benefits:

  • Managed Authentication: Securely authenticate your users with Flipt’s managed authentication service, which supports email/password, magic link, social login, and SSO with popular providers.
  • User Management: Manage your users and teams with Flipt’s user management service, which supports roles, permissions, and role-based access control.
  • Hosted Audit Logs: Keep track of changes to your feature data with Flipt’s hosted audit logs service, which provides a detailed history of all changes made to your feature data with 30 days of retention by default (custom retention periods are available).

To enable the Flipt Enterprise Cloud experimental feature, set the experimental.cloud.enabled configuration option to true.

config.yaml
experimental:
  cloud:
    enabled: true

You must have a valid Flipt Enterprise Cloud account to use this feature. To learn more about Flipt Enterprise Cloud, visit our website and sign up for an account.

Deprecations

Once an experimental feature is promoted to a stable feature or is removed, it will move to a deprecated status. Depending on the feature, you may need to take action to migrate to the new stable feature or remove the deprecated feature from your configuration.

If an enabled experimental feature has been deprecated, you will see a warning message in the CLI output when you start the Flipt server, such as:

Warning: 'experimental.filesystem_storage' has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
