Flipper & Team
Since 2012, Flipper has been providing feature flags and controls for Ruby applications and their client-side code. In 2018, we added Flipper Cloud to provide a hosted web application to pair with the Flipper gem.
Coming soon! A Pro version of the Flipper gem for entirely local installations.
Get UpdatesSince 2012, Flipper has been providing feature flags and controls for Ruby applications and their client-side code. In 2018, we added Flipper Cloud to provide a hosted web application to pair with the Flipper gem.
Flipper is an open source Ruby gem that provides feature flags for Ruby applications and their client-side code. The original Flipper gem had its first commit in July of 2012 and is used by thousands of companies. Flipper Cloud is a web-based interface for managing and syncing feature flags.
Most of the team worked together years ago during the 2000's where we were consultants and built a few products. In 2011, we were acquired by GitHub where we worked for many years—while it grew from 50 to thousands of employees.
While at GitHub we maintained their open source setup of Flipper (among many other things), which served billions of feature checks a day and was one of the most stable pieces of infrastructure. Suffice it to say that we've managed feature flags at scale.
But not every team can devote that much attention to the infrastructure necessary for feature flags. And seeing how Flipper changed the way GitHub released software was exciting. Why not re-build it so everyone can partake? Thus Flipper Cloud was born.
In 2018, we created a new company, Fewer & Faster, to build Flipper Cloud, and in 2023, we went a step further and invested our own money to release 1.0 and really help Flipper Cloud get going. Since then, we've added a limited free plan to Flipper Cloud and have been persistently expanding it to add telemetry, analytics, expressions, advanced permissions, and endless other improvements.
Flipper Cloud is built with a lot of 💙 and 🐬 by a small team focused on making it faster and easier to ship new functionality for Ruby apps. We're excited about making feature flags more approachable for other small teams, and you can rest assured that if you ever need help with Flipper, you'll hear back from us personally.
