Understanding Unleash

Documentation on how Unleash works, high-level architecture and important concepts.

📄️ Unleash introductory overview

One of the most important aspects of the Unleash architecture is that feature flags are evaluated directly in the client SDKs that run as part of your application. This makes flag evaluations incredibly fast (we're talking nano-seconds), scalable, and resilient against network disturbances. To achieve this Unleash incurs a small update-delay when you change your flag configurations until it is fully propagated to your application. This delay is typically a few seconds and is configurable.
