About BonusX
Founded in 2020 by Giovanni Pizza and Fabrizio Pinci, BonusX is Italy's digital gateway to government bonuses, welfare, and benefits. The platform lets anyone quickly discover and apply for more than 600 types of support, all in one place. Users enjoy a friendly interface, expert help from a team of welfare specialists, and excellent ratings on review platforms. BonusX combines digital innovation and human expertise to make government bureaucracy simple, accessible, and stress-free for everyone. As BonusX grows, its mission is to become every user's personal assistant for navigating welfare, taxes, and public services.
The Purr-fect Stack
Tech Stack & Development Culture
BonusX runs on a robust AWS infrastructure and uses Typescript frameworks for both frontend and backend. With a tight-knit engineering team of 10-15 developers, the company is always pushing boundaries. Their latest milestone? Introducing the first AI Assistant to help users cut through bureaucracy. ConfigCat powers feature flag management on across both backend and frontend, making every new release smoother, faster and more reliable.
Before ConfigCat Walked In
The Challenge: Shipping Faster Without Sacrificing Quality
Before adopting ConfigCat, BonusX wanted to speed up their development cycles and reduce time-to-release, all while keeping the door open for safe experiments like canary releases and A/B testing. The team needed a feature flag tool to help them roll out partial features, test new ideas, and deliver improvements to the right users at the right time.
How the Cat Saved the Day
The Solution: Controlled, Confident Feature Releases
With ConfigCat, BonusX's workflow changed overnight. The team can now deploy incomplete features to production and simply toggle them on when ready.
“ConfigCat changed our development flow as we can now deploy partial features that will be enabled only when ready, instead of keeping PRs open until they're complete.”
Recently, when rolling out their new AI Assistant, BonusX used ConfigCat's user targeting to enable access for just 1,000 select users, identified by email. This made controlled launches and early feedback simple and secure. As a bonus, ConfigCat's compatibility with OpenFeature lets BonusX keep their tech stack future-ready and flexible.
