Our scariest release to date!

Flagsmith, originally open-sourced in June 2018, has undergone significant evolution from its early private development stages to its current status as a critical tool for many companies. Initially, the project was built in private, but the team later adopted an open development approach, recognizing its substantial benefits. As the platform's user base expanded, the pressure to maintain high-quality releases increased, especially given the crucial role of feature flagging in delivering consistent product experiences. To address API latency issues, particularly for customers in remote regions like Sydney, Flagsmith developed an Edge API, allowing for sub-200ms latency globally. This involved replicating data across a new domain, necessitating a comprehensive rewrite of their SDKs in multiple languages to shift flag processing from the API to the SDKs themselves, enhancing flexibility and reducing latency for server-side applications. The release of the new Edge API and version 2.0 SDKs, though a daunting undertaking, was designed to be seamless, ensuring no downtime for customers. This pivotal update, provided for free across all plans, aims to enable faster releases and continuous product improvement for Flagsmith's diverse user base.
