About
Unleash is the most-starred open-source feature-flag platform on GitHub, licensed under Apache 2.0 and free to self-host with no limits. It supports gradual rollouts, A/B testing, and kill switches through 15 official SDKs plus many community ones. You run the server with Docker alongside a Postgres database, and clients fetch flag definitions through a simple API. A managed cloud version exists for teams that prefer not to host it.
