Bucket 2025-02 Update — Event log, Secret features, Beta Remote Config & Product Hunt

Meow there! The team has been hard at work this month to help you build better products with feature flags.

Here's a recap of what we recently shipped at Bucket. Note: We'll be live here on March 18 — Get notified

# What Bucket shipped in February 2025

  • Improved Event log

  • Secret features

  • Custom feature key naming convention

  • Custom avatar support

  • Beta Remote Config

## Improved Event log

We've revamped the debugger: introducing the Event log.

You can now see event data sent to Bucket – evaluate, check, user, company, and track – and slice it with filters. This makes it easier to get started and debug data issues.

## Secret features

We've made it possible to mark features as "secret" on Bucket.

This means you can use a feature on your backend and ensure that the feature key is never revealed to any users.

## Custom feature key naming convention

You can now define your feature key naming convention when creating a new feature.

SNAKE_UPPER_CASE, camelCase, kebab-lower-case (default), or else... You decide.

## Custom avatar support

Quality-of-life improvement: We now display company logos and user avatars in the UI.

## Beta Remote Config

Last but not least, we’ve shipped a beta release, introducing remote feature configuration to Bucket — a dynamic and flexible approach to configuring feature behaviour outside of your app without redeployments.

# One more thing

That's almost it for this month. There's one more thing.

We'll run our first-ever launch week on March 17-21. Follow us @bucketdotco on X for the latest updates. We'll be live here on March 18 — Get notified

We're crafting the feature management tool purpose-built for B2B SaaS companies.

Happy shipping!

Trunk-Based Development vs GitFlow — What's your dev workflow?
In software engineering, trunk-based development (TBD) is a strategy to manage git workflows that favours merging commits into the `main` branch even before the feature is fully complete, instead of the git flow that favours working on long-lived branches until features are 100% complete. TBD or GitFlow: What's your current developer workflow?

Best feature management tool for B2B SaaS?

What tool like @LaunchDarkly or @Bucket do you use for feature flagging/rollout?

Feature management (also known as feature flag management) is a modern software development process involving the progressive delivery of feature releases to specific user groups through features and feature flags (sometimes called feature toggles). source

Bucket 2025-01 Update — OpenFeature Tracking API Support & Company Toggles
At Bucket, we're on a mission to help you build better products with feature flags. Last year, we shipped 38 product updates, and we're kicking 2025 off to a great start. # What Bucket shipped in January 2025 Below is a recap of what we shipped this month:
  • OpenFeature Tracking API support for Bucket SDKs
  • Toggle feature access per company
  • Improved Feature tabs
## Bucket SDKs now support the OpenFeature Tracking API We shipped an updated version of Bucket SDKs to support the latest OpenFeature Tracking API:
  • OpenFeature Support: We've updated Bucket Node.js SDK and Browser SDK to support the new Tracking API.
  • Enhanced Developer Experience: You can now use the adoption metrics and automated feedback surveys through OpenFeature.
## Toggle feature access per company We also released a new feature in the Bucket UI to enable you to toggle features to individual companies.
  • Quick access: Go to the Company page to enable a new feature.
  • Purpose-built for beta releases: You can toggle a button to enroll companies into the early stages of a new feature.
## Improving the Feature tabs Last but not least, we simplified the dashboard UI by using more explicit terminology and use case-specific code examples.
  • Clearer terminology: We've renamed the Targeting tab to Access and split Analyze into Adoption and Feedback for clarity.
  • Use case-specific code examples: We've added specific, context-related instructions and code examples to each new tab.
