Cloudflare is launching Flagship, a native feature flag service built on its global network using Workers, Durable Objects, and KV. It eliminates the latency of third-party flag providers by evaluating flags at the edge — sub-millisecond, with no outbound HTTP requests. Flagship is built on OpenFeature, the CNCF open standard, so evaluation code is portable across providers. It supports boolean, string, number, and JSON flag types, multi-rule targeting with AND/OR logic, percentage-based rollouts with consistent hashing, a full audit trail, and a dashboard for non-engineers. The service is framed around AI-generated code entering production autonomously, where feature flags serve as the safety mechanism for agentic deployments. Flagship is currently in private beta.
