By now, you’re probably well-acquainted with the suite of useful feature flag tools offered by ConfigCat. In case you aren't, ConfigCat is a developer-centric feature flag service with unlimited team size, awesome support, and a reasonable price tag. Let's play it safe and discuss 3 cool things that ConfigCat allows you to do – which we bet you didn’t know about! I’ll cover:

• Purchasing a ConfigCat subscription for someone else
• Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in ConfigCat
• Getting a free feature flag pack for students

Let’s get started!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past two years, chances are you’re well-acquainted with today’s hybrid work environment and the tools that come with the territory. Platforms such as Jira, Trello and Slack are well established as tools that enable high-level remote collaboration and task management. ConfigCat provides straightforward integrations with Jira, Trello, and Slack that allow for higher visibility and easier, more convenient feature flag management. In this blog, I’ll go through these feature flag devices one by one, outlining their functionality and how to integrate them.

This is a step-by-step guide on implementing an A/B testing scenario using ConfigCat and visualizing the results in a funnel with Amplitude. There is a working sample application on GitHub if you want to follow along.

ConfigCat is NOT affected​

A remote code execution flaw was recently discovered in log4j. The vulnerability is fixed in log4j 2.15.0.

Between 28th and 30th September, our customers experienced long response times, timeouts, and failing responses from the ConfigCat CDN. Since this was a significant disruption in the ConfigCat service, we want to be upfront about it and share all the information about what happened, what we've done, and what changes we will implement.

Deforestation in the world was an issue long before it became a major problem in the 21st century. For centuries, it has been a struggle to supply our need for timber and produce goods from wood without destroying this forest resource. There is now more than one billion hectares of forest that have been either lost or badly damaged in countries such as Brazil, Indonesia, Madagascar and Mexico.

We tend to move quickly from release to release and forget to honor the magnitude of our achievements during the year. Let this post be here as a milestone for the ConfigCat team to stop for a second, look back, and celebrate the preposterous performance we did.

A new ConfigCat JavaScript SDK supporting apps using Server-Side Rendering (SSR) frameworks like NuxtJS.

Solved XMLHttpRequest is not defined issue​

It is forked from the standard ConfigCat JavaScript SDK and of course open source. It is a bit bigger as a package since instead of using the standard XMLHttpRequest we have added Axios Http Client to avoid XMLHttpRequest is not defined like issues.
