A Git-native, enterprise-ready feature management platform that stores flags in your repositories and deploys with your code.
Flipt is a Git-native feature management platform that stores feature flags directly in Git repositories, enabling deployment alongside application code using existing CI/CD workflows. It provides full version control, seamless branching strategies, and eliminates external dependencies for flag management. This approach puts control and data ownership back into engineering teams' hands.
Engineering teams and developers who want to integrate feature flag management into their existing Git workflows, particularly those practicing trunk-based development, GitOps, or requiring self-hosted, secure solutions.
Developers choose Flipt for its unique Git-native design, which allows feature flags to be treated as code with full version history and branching support, unlike database-centric alternatives. Its self-hosted, zero-dependency architecture and real-time updates via Server-Sent Events (SSE) provide control, speed, and seamless integration with existing developer tools.

Stores feature flags directly in Git repositories with full version history and blame support, enabling seamless branching and deployment alongside code using existing CI/CD pipelines, as emphasized in the 'Git-Native by Design' section.
Runs as a single binary with no external database dependencies by default, offering zero-infrastructure setup and keeping data ownership within your infrastructure, highlighted in the 'Zero infrastructure' claim.
Uses Server-Sent Events (SSE) streaming API for instant flag propagation to client SDKs without polling, reducing latency and improving responsiveness, as noted in the 'Real-time updates' feature.
Supports environments mapped to Git branches, directories, or separate repositories for complete isolation, allowing flexible workflow integration across dev, staging, and production.
Critical enterprise features like GPG commit signing, HashiCorp Vault integration, and cloud secrets management are locked behind the Pro license, limiting the open-source version's capabilities for secure, advanced workflows.
Entire flag management relies on Git infrastructure; any Git downtime or misconfiguration can disrupt flag operations, unlike database-backed alternatives that offer more resilience and transactional consistency.
Setting up multi-environment workflows and secrets management requires detailed YAML configuration, which can be cumbersome for teams new to declarative setups, as seen in the configuration example with multiple providers and options.
