FlagPilot

Creating your first feature flag registers the key in FlagPilot's database. The Free plan allows up to 10 flags per project; upgrade to a paid plan for unlimited flags.

Dashboard Walkthrough

Navigate to the Feature Flags dashboard screen in your browser.
Click on the Create Feature Flag button at the top right.
Define a lowercase slug-friendly key name like checkout-redesign.
Enter a clear description to help team members understand the flag's scope.
Choose whether to enable or disable evaluations on initial creation and click Create Flag.

Create via REST API

You can also create flags programmatically from terminal curl calls or scripts using the REST API:

Terminal

curl -X POST https://api.tryflagpilot.com/v1/flags \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer fk_secret_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"key": "checkout-redesign", "description": "New checkout flow", "enabled": false}'

Key Naming Best Practices

Consistency in naming keys keeps your code maintainable:

Use lowercase alphanumeric characters separated by hyphens (e.g. new-auth-flow).
Add scope prefixes to group flags (e.g. billing-portal-v2).

FAQ

How does Create Your First Flag interact with local caches?

Configurations are synced down using Edge Config or fallback REST triggers. The client automatically reads evaluations in-memory, resulting in sub-millisecond local evaluation times.
