Question 1

Does the Open Source version of Flagsmith have any restrictions?

Accepted Answer

The entire codebase of Flagsmith is publicly available. The Flagsmith product has a dual license for use, with the majority of the codebase being Open Source under a BSD 3-Clause license.

The Enterprise Edition (EE) repository holds a portion of code for features we sell under an Enterprise license. These may not be used in production without an Enterprise license from Flagsmith. This includes RBAC, and other features we may include in this license in the future.

You can see which repositories are in which license on GitHub: https://github.com/Flagsmith

Question 2

Is there a way to control who gets a feature flag by percentage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. To do this you would create a Segment with a percentage split rule. From there you can set a Segment Override to enable or disable the flag for that percentage split segment.

More details on implementing percentage splits here: https://docs.flagsmith.com/staged-feature-rollouts/#creating-staged-rollouts

Question 3

How do I add traits to identities?

Accepted Answer

You can do that in the SDKs, that is a primary thing the SDK can do.

For example in Javascript, you would write something like this: Trait userTrait = await bulletClient.SetTrait("myuserid", "myusertrait", "blue");

Question 4

How does the % Split work?

Accepted Answer

The way the % split works is as follows: Every Identity/Segment combination is combined and then hashed, and a floating point value between 0.0 and 1.0 is generated from this hash. This value is then evaluated against the "% Split" rule.
