How Feato works

1. Create a project

Every Feato workflow starts with a project. A project represents a single application or service and defines isolated environments.

Environments allow you to safely control feature exposure across development, staging, and production.

Create a project and define isolated environments.

2. Define feature flags

Feature flags are first-class entities in Feato. Each flag represents a single capability or behavior that can be enabled or disabled independently.

Clear naming and descriptions make it easy to understand the purpose of each flag across teams.

Define a feature flag with a clear purpose.

3. Toggle flags in real time

When a feature flag is enabled or disabled, the change is applied immediately to the selected environment.

There are no refresh intervals or delayed updates. Changes propagate as soon as they happen.

Toggle a feature flag and apply the change instantly.

Real-time delivery model

Feato uses a push-based delivery model. Applications establish a persistent connection and receive updates only when something changes.

• No polling loops
• No periodic refreshes
• No unnecessary network traffic

This approach ensures that applications always reflect the current configuration while keeping infrastructure overhead minimal.

Safety and failure handling

Real-time systems must fail safely. Feato is designed to degrade gracefully without breaking applications.

• Temporary network issues do not crash applications
• Last known flag state is preserved
• Blocked projects resolve flags predictably

Feature flags never become a single point of failure in production.
