• You need proven reliability and extensive documentation
• You're okay with polling-based updates

Choose Flipt v2 if:

• You want Git-native feature flag management
• You need real-time streaming updates for flag changes

Versioning

This project uses Semantic Versioning.

Our versioning strategy is based on the version of application that is packaged in the chart:

• Each minor version bump of the application will also increase the minor version of the chart.
• Each patch version bump of the application will also increase the patch version of the chart.

Note: Some changes to the chart will not affect the application version. For example, if there is a bugfix or patch change to the chart that does not affect the application, the chart version will be incremented, but the application version will remain the same.
