Why OpenFeature is central to modern feature management

Get to know the open source project changing the game for feature flags.
July 16, 2024

The open standard has quickly become central to effective feature management and experimentation for developer teams.

As feature flagging and feature management become more critical components of effective modern software delivery practice, OpenFeature has emerged as an open specification that provides a vendor-agnostic, community-driven API for feature flagging. Here’s why it matters.

Addressing some common feature flag challenges

Current feature flag solutions largely rely on proprietary software development kits (SDKs), each with unique frameworks, definitions, data, and event types. This creates several challenges:

  • Difficulty in adoption: Proprietary SDKs are hard to adopt across different tools and platforms.
  • Integration challenges: Integrating these SDKs with existing development and deployment workflows can be complex.
