Nowadays, almost each and every business uses some sort of web application, so cyberattacks are becoming a daily struggle for huge enterprises as well as for small businesses. It’s not enough for programmers to build an application that looks great and works smoothly. Many consumers are getting aware of the need for security in the applications they are using.

As ConfigCat is a Software as a Service business with applications running in the cloud, we take security as seriously as reliability. Here are the security measures we take to ensure that we deliver a secure application.

Get updated via a Slack Channel message when someone changes a feature flag with ConfigCat Feature Flags in Slack App Directory.

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.

Manage your feature flags from Trello using ConfigCat's new Power-Up.

Moving forward with our partnership with @GitHubEducation we have introduced a new plan customized for teachers as part of the GitHub Teachers Toolbox.

ConfigCat Teachers Plan​

You get unlimited ConfigCat Products to make sure there is one for every class, lab and research group each with unlimited Team Members. Also you can add 3 different Permission Groups in every Product to be able to grant proper access rights for everyone.

Focusing on frontend applications, we introduced sensitive text comparators to make sure sensitive info (like email address, username) is kept hidden in targeting rules.

Inspired by Treelon Musk we decided to do our part in the fight against deforestation and climate change. In Nov 2019 we partnered with a non-profit organization MyForest to support local forests by planting trees after every purchase of the ConfigCat service and whenever someone gives feedback.

The main idea about our pricing is that our prices are fixed, deterministic and there are no hidden fees. Also we offer a forever free plan without requiring any commitment or credit card information. All features are available in all plans - even the free - helping the evaluation process of our customers.

There is a way to stream feature flag and configuration changes to the clients right when they happen. In some cases ConfigCat's pull based architecture does not completely satisfies the requirements when microservices need the latest values instantly, or mobile apps where polling sometimes is a battery consuming anti-pattern.

TL;DR​

Your application subscribes to a PubNub channel to get updates about changes. And use ConfigCat Webhooks to notify PubNub when a feature flag value gets updated.

Satisfying the feature request of our customers from the mobile app development industry, ConfigCat now supports semantic version (SemVer) based user targeting. Typical use case where app builders wish to enable or disable features based on the iOS or Android version on the device their app is running on. For example deciding if 2.3.40 is less than or equals 2.30.4 sometimes not that straightforward by only using the traditional < > = comparators.
