How Kantan Builds Faster with ConfigCat

Kantan.tech runs on a modern software development stack built on React Native and CircleCI. This setup means fully automated continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines. Their engineering team can push code quickly and deploy with total confidence.

By committing straight to the main branch and automatically building every update, Kantan keeps strong development moving at top speed without risking production issues. What really makes their process shine is how feature toggles and flag management are baked right into their CI/CD workflow. This lets Kantan test new features safely, roll them out gradually, and keep everything running smoothly for users.

At Kantan.tech, agile engineering and CI/CD with feature flags go hand in paw. The result? Faster releases, smoother iterations, and rock-solid user experience, even when the team is shipping new features nonstop.

As Kantan's engineering team scaled and development sped up, they ran into the usual obstacles of modern software delivery. Large pull requests slowed things down. Working on many features at once created conflicts. The biggest headache was shipping unfinished code to production, which always put stability at risk. To keep up pace without sacrificing stability, they needed a flexible solution for safer releases. Feature flags were the missing piece.

Kantan made ConfigCat's feature flag management platform a core part of their release process. This move transformed their workflow in some key ways.

Every new feature starts life behind a flag that stays off by default. Code is then deployed to the staging environment, where internal testers activate the feature flag to run smoke tests without ever showing it to end users. When the team is confident, the feature is shipped to production but remains invisible to most users. Only after internal validation do they enable the flag for everyone. This method keeps the codebase stable, the release process calm, and the risk of production bugs way down.

Old feature flags are cleaned up regularly, so the codebase stays tidy and technical debt does not pile up. With this approach, Kantan ships faster, recovers from hiccups instantly, and empowers their whole team to experiment and innovate without worry.

Kantan.tech evaluated several feature flag services but chose ConfigCat for its simple user interface, great performance, and clear pricing.

ConfigCat makes it easy to:

• Toggle features in production without deploying new code
• Target specific users or groups (e.g., internal testers or beta users)
• Monitor environments and manage flags across dev, staging, and production
• Maintain release consistency and team visibility

Thanks to its seamless integration with React Native and CircleCI, well-documented SDKs, and fast, reliable evaluations via a global CDN, ConfigCat delivers everything Kantan needs to scale feature delivery with confidence.

With flag management tightly embedded in both their code integration and staging workflows, Kantan is ready to take their software to the next level.

Here is what's on the horizon for Kantan:

• Improve test coverage and confidence
• Gradually introduce percentage rollouts and feature experimentation
• Keep scaling safely with automated flag cleanup and deployment tracking

By putting feature flags at the center of their growth strategy, Kantan continues to innovate, reduce risk, and keep shipping better experiences for their users.
