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.

"Feature flags are crucial for us. We use them as kill switches for all features and use the data to make decisions."

"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."
Features
Release conditions
Customize your rollout strategy by user or group properties, cohort, or traffic percentage
Multivariate feature flags
Simultaneously test multiple versions against a control group
Test changes without touching your codebase
JSON payloads let you change text, visuals, or entire blocks of code without subsequent deployments
Developer-friendly automation
Automated usage reports, IP address resolution (for location-based targeting), and recall person properties to avoid passing them manually every time
Early access feature opt-in widget
Allow users to opt in to (or out of) specified features. Or use the API to build your own UI.

FAQs
PostHog vs...
So, what's best for you?
Reasons a competitor may be best 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.

Meet the team
PostHog works in small teams. The Feature Flags team is responsible for building feature flags.
(Shockingly, this team prefers their pizza without pineapple.)
Roadmap & changelog
Here’s what the team is up to.
Latest update
Oct 2024
Invalid cohorts removed from flag filters
Ever the optimizer, Dylan has now made it so you can no longer select invalid cohorts in feature flag filters. Previously, this would cause flags to fail to save and could cause issues - so removing this as a possibility actually makes the whole experience more consistent and reliable.
There are a few reasons why cohorts may be invalid for flag filters, but the biggest is that we don't support behavioral cohorts in feature flag targeting currently.

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.
