Picture this scenario: you start with a small team building the foundation of your application, gradually adding new features and functionality. As your user base grows, your software should be able to meet the demands of heavier workloads. At this point, the need for scalability arises, driven by the need to keep your application efficient, optimized, and capable. With feature flags, you can manage your user base and scale efficiently.
The rapid pace of software development and the need to continuously deliver new features to stay competitive in today's market has introduced a unique set of challenges, one of which is security. With more and more software applications coming to play a pivotal role in user's daily lives, ensuring the security of these applications is paramount.
Security has become increasingly important for businesses and organizations of all sizes, especially in today's ever-evolving landscape, where cyber threats constantly loom around the corners like shadowy specters. As software systems become increasingly complex and cyberattacks become more prevalent, organizations need effective strategies and tools to bolster their security posture.
The question arising then is: How can they strike a harmonious balance between ensuring the security of their applications and meeting the relentless demand for innovation? One such tool that has gained prominence is feature flagging, and in this blog post, we'll examine how we can utilize it to enhance security while following best practices.
The Internet of Things (known as IoT) is a rapidly growing field that refers to the interconnection of everyday objects, devices, and systems through the internet. This allows them to collect, exchange, and process data without requiring human intervention. IoT is changing how we live, work, and interact with our environment. It affects smart homes, wearable health devices, industrial automation, and smart cities.
This interconnectedness comes with a new set of challenges for developers. How do you manage this complex ecosystem's ever-growing number of features and updates? How do you ensure your devices are always up-to-date, secure, and functioning optimally? This article explores feature management in the IoT world and some of the challenges and solutions.
Change, while sometimes challenging, often paves the way for growth and improvement. In light of this, and with our ongoing commitment to providing our users with the best possible experience, we are writing to announce an important shift in our pricing policy.

As a front-end developer, I spend most of my time writing code and developing front-end applications. Several months ago, I wondered what it would be like to run a tech startup. It turns out that I spend my spare time writing blog articles for such a company. Meet ConfigCat, a thriving tech startup that offers a cloud-hosted feature flagging solution to other tech companies.
Most importantly, I was curious to know how the company was created and the secret behind its success, as well as how they are able to handle high-end user demands while delivering a seamless feature flagging solution. To answer these questions, I decided to conduct an online interview with the core engineering team to satisfy my curiosity and to share what I found with you, the reader.
Choosing the right SaaS (Software as a Service) provider is a crucial decision for any organization. When evaluating potential vendors, it's essential to have a clear understanding of their security measures, service level agreements, and other factors that may impact your business.
Here are some key questions to help guide your evaluation process.
In today's fast-paced world, the web development landscape is constantly evolving, with user expectations for fast and responsive applications driving innovation. The need for more modular, scalable, and maintainable architectures is more crucial than ever, as web applications are now required to be highly adaptable and feature-rich.
This has led to the rise of Microfrontends, an architectural approach that addresses the challenges faced by large frontend development teams working on monolithic frontend applications. Microfrontends have emerged as a solution to this challenge by breaking down these frontend monoliths into smaller, manageable components owned by cross-functional teams to facilitate the independent delivery of updates and new features.
While there may not be a one-size-fits-all solution for optimizing workflow and maximizing productivity, you can often put things in place to really up your productivity game. At ConfigCat, we understand this and strive to provide our customers with the essential integration tools to help automate their feature flagging workflow.
For this reason, we are thrilled to announce that ConfigCat now has an official integration with Zapier, a powerful automation tool. With this Zapier integration, you can now connect ConfigCat with over 5,000+ apps, unlocking a new level of automation for your feature flagging workflow. This allows you to make things happen on autopilot without ever having to touch them after the initial integration. And you know what's most interesting about this integration? No code is required! It's like having superpowers.
