Is Flagsweep free?
Yes. The open-source edition runs on your own infrastructure under the Apache-2.0 licence, with no limits and no per-seat pricing. The Enterprise edition is planned, with approval workflows, single sign-on, drift alerts and CI integrations, and will be sold under a commercial licence. There are no public prices yet.
How is Flagsweep different from the Azure portal?
The portal is for people with Azure access, and its revision history records values but no actor. Flagsweep records the signed-in user on every write, marks flags changed in Azure directly, protects environments so only admins can change them, and gives each flag an owner and a retire-by date. People without Azure access can see and change flags.
Does Flagsweep replace my feature flag SDK?
No. Your applications keep reading flags from your cloud's store with the SDKs they already use. Flagsweep writes to the same store, and leaves feature filters and variants set in the console as they are.
What do I need to connect a store?
A read-write connection string for the store, from Settings > Access keys in the Azure portal. Flagsweep checks that it can connect, reads the store's labels, and maps each environment to one label. The connection string is stored as plain text unless a DataProtection secret key is set, and encrypted when it is.
Do my flag values leave my cloud?
No. Flags live in your provider's store and Flagsweep writes to it directly. The self-hosted edition keeps its own database, with the audit trail and user accounts, on your infrastructure.
What happens to feature filters and variants I set in the console?
Flagsweep keeps them as they are on every write. It manages the boolean on/off state, ownership, and lifecycle, and never rewrites targeting rules.
Which providers are supported?
Azure App Configuration today. AWS AppConfig is next, with the same audit trail, out-of-sync detection, locks, and lifecycle. Mixed Azure and AWS connections will work in one Flagsweep.
Does Flagsweep work with AWS AppConfig?
Not yet. AWS AppConfig support is coming soon, with the same attributed audit trail, out-of-sync detection, locks, owners and retire-by dates as Azure App Configuration, and Azure and AWS connections will work side by side in one Flagsweep. Your applications will keep reading flags with the AWS AppConfig SDK they already use. If you want it sooner, tell us on the contact page.
What is the licence?
The open-source edition is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. You can run it, modify it, and use it inside closed-source and commercial products, as long as you keep the licence and notice files. The licence does not cover the Flagsweep name or logo. The planned Enterprise edition adds closed-source features and will be sold under a commercial licence.
Where do I ask a question or suggest something?
In the Discussions tab of the GitHub repository: Q&A for questions, Ideas for suggestions, and Show and tell for what you built. Bugs go in Issues. Every release is announced there with a thread for feedback, and the contact page reaches us directly for anything private.
