What problem does it solve?
PostHog feature flags for Node.js help you safely control and gradually roll out functionality without redeploying, while ensuring your flag logic is consistently evaluated on the server.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Evaluate feature flags in Node.js: Check boolean and multivariate flags per
distinctId and optionally fetch payloads to drive behavior.
- Send flag context with events: Include feature flag information using
$feature/<flag-key> properties or sendFeatureFlags so analytics can attribute results correctly.
- Follow best practices for reliable rollouts: Use environment variables for PostHog keys, minimize code changes, prefer server-side evaluation to avoid UI flicker, and support safe fallbacks for unexpected flag values.
- Reference-based implementation guidance: Use included reference docs for Node.js installation, adding flag checks, and best practices.
Quick Start
Use the feature-flags-nodejs skill to add PostHog feature flag evaluation to your Node.js service by installing the PostHog Node library and wiring boolean flag checks using environment-provided project tokens.
