Deploy and Host Flipt on Railway

What is Flipt?
Flipt is an open-source feature flag and experimentation platform that enables development teams to release new features safely, control rollouts, and run A/B tests in production. Flipt provides a flexible solution for feature management, allowing for easy integration with any tech stack, robust APIs, and fine-grained access control.

About Hosting Flipt

Hosting Flipt on Railway streamlines the deployment of a scalable feature management platform. Railway’s infrastructure automation takes care of provisioning resources, networking, and persistent storage. You simply connect your repository or Docker image, configure environment variables (for storage like PostgreSQL or SQLite), and deploy. Railway makes exposing Flipt’s web console and admin API effortless via auto-managed HTTPS, while scaling horizontally—adding instances for higher workloads or different environments—is as easy as a click. Continuous deployment, logs, and metrics are all accessible in Railway’s dashboard for stress-free operations.

Common Use Cases

Progressive feature releases: Deploy new features to specific user segments, regions, or beta testers before global rollout.
A/B testing: Experiment and analyze different features or UI/UX flows using built-in experimentation tools.
Kill switches for production: Instantly disable problematic features without redeploying or code changes.

Dependencies for Flipt Hosting

Database (PostgreSQL or SQLite): Required for storing flag definitions, rules, audit logs, and configuration.
Docker runtime (or Railway build integration): To run and orchestrate the Flipt service.
