Hi HN, I'm Ivar, creator of Unleash.

Unleash started in 2014 as an internal tool at my company at the time, because we wanted to ship to production continuously without big-bang releases. It's an Open-Source feature flag platform with SDKs for >25 languages.

A few design choices that might be interesting:

- Local evaluation: server-side SDKs fetch the flag config and evaluate in-process, so user data never leaves your app and a flag check is a memory lookup, not a network call.

- Shared Rust engine (Yggdrasil): the evaluation logic is written once in Rust and embedded in the SDKs, so behaviour is the same across languages.

- Unleash Edge: a Rust proxy/cache for frontend and edge clients at scale. (Commercial)

- OpenFeature: supported if you don't want to lock into our SDKs.
