Safely roll out features to specific users or groups
Test changes with small groups of users before rolling out wider. Analyze usage with product analytics and session replay.
cut failure rates by 90%
"Feature flags are crucial for us. We use them as kill switches for all features and use the data to make decisions."
increased registrations 30%
"Teams used to use different tools. That led to confusion because flags didn't integrate with our analytics or replays."
uses flags for feature testing
"We test changes as simple as changing the null state of a page through to new onboarding flows or new pricing changes."
switched from in-house tools
"Feature flags immediately bought a lot of value. What’s really elegant is how flags interlink with product analytics."

FAQs
PostHog vs...
So, what's best for you?
Reasons a competitor might be better for you (for now...)
- Triggers and workflows to enable/disable flags on other events
- Data exports
Reasons to choose
- Integration with other analysis products
- View replays attached to a flag, analyze data based on a flag, etc.
- JSON payloads
- Flags can return JSON and trigger other in-app changes (like displaying a banner)
- Targeting options
- Early access management suite for toggling betas or new features

How to do a canary release with feature flags in PostHog
A canary release or canary deployment is the process of rolling out a new feature to a subset of users before releasing it to a larger group. Once satisfied with tests and analysis, the feature rolls out to a larger group (or everyone).
How to evaluate and update feature flags with the PostHog API
Learn how to use the
decideendpoint to evaluate your feature flags (both boolean and multivariate), get data about them, and update them.How to bootstrap feature flags in React and Express
Bootstrapping feature flags make them available as soon as React and PostHog load on the client side. This enables use cases like routing to different pages on load, all feature flagged content being available on first load, and visual consistency.
How to set up Angular feature flags
Learn you how to set up the tools PostHog provides by creating a basic Angular app, adding PostHog, and then using it to capture events and manage feature flags.
Install & customize
Here are some ways you can fine tune how you implement feature flags.

Latest update
May 2024
Shuffling added to surveys
While most of us were away at our annual offsite, Phani ended up staying home and working on an important improvement to surveys: shuffling.
Shuffling is important because it can help you remove bias in your survey results caused by users automatically selecting responses in particular positions, or by being led to answers by previous questions. So, we've added the ability to shuffle both questions and responses in the customization step of survey creation.

Users & recordings linked to feature flags
We want to make it easier for those who use feature flags to get information on users attached to a particular feature flag, and gather more information on those users' experience through session recordings.

PostHog products are natively designed to be interoperable using Product OS.
This is the call to action.
If nothing else has sold you on PostHog, hopefully these classic marketing tactics will.
