At DevCycle, we're committed to delivering powerful feature management solutions that empower teams to safely and easily control their feature releases. In this blog post, we're excited to share two significant updates that will enhance your experience with DevCycle: Approval Workflows and a Vercel Edge Config integration.

To see what's coming check out our roadmap.


šŸ” Approval Workflows: Safeguarding Your Production Environment

We understand the importance of maintaining a secure and stable production environment. That's why we've introduced Approval Workflows, an extension of our commitment to helping you manage your features with confidence. With Approval Workflows, when a user wants to change a Feature in DevCycle, they must request a review and approval from a Publisher within their organization.

This added layer of oversight provides several benefits:

  • Greater Visibility: Teams gain increased visibility into Feature changes, ensuring everyone is aware of the modifications being made.
  • Safeguarding Measures: Approval Workflows acts as a safeguard for your team, preventing unauthorized or unintended changes from being deployed to production.
  • Familiar Workflow: The review-style approvals for Feature changes mirrors common code review workflows, such as git workflows, making it easy for teams to adopt and integrate into their existing processes.

Approval Workflows is available as part of our Enterprise plan. To learn more about our pricing and how Approval Workflows can benefit your team, please refer to our pricing page and documentation.

Approvals in Action

šŸŒ©ļø Vercel Edge Config Integration: Lightning-Fast Flag Configurations

We're thrilled to announce our integration with Vercel Edge Config, a lightning-fast data storage system optimized for deployments running on Vercel. This integration allows teams to automatically upload DevCycle flagging configurations to Vercel Edge Config, enabling faster flag retrieval for DevCycle SDKs running in Vercel environments.

Key benefits of the Vercel Edge Config integration include:

  • Ultra-Low Latency: DevCycle SDKs can obtain flag configurations faster than ever, thanks to the optimized storage and retrieval capabilities of Vercel Edge Config.
  • Improved User Experience: With reduced latency, end-users will experience smoother and more responsive interactions with your applications.
  • Seamless Integration: If you're a Vercel customer, getting started with Edge Config is a breeze. Simply follow our integration guide to set it up and start reaping the benefits.

At DevCycle, our goal is to provide you with the tools and capabilities you need to confidently manage your software releases. With Approval Workflows and the Vercel Edge Config integration, we're taking significant steps towards ensuring the security, efficiency, and performance of your feature management process.

As always, we value your feedback and would love to hear from you. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Your input helps shape the future of DevCycle.
