Deploy Unleash on Northflank

Unleash is an open source feature management platform that helps teams control feature rollout, run experiments, and manage feature flags across environments. It’s widely used for gradual rollouts, A/B testing, and operational feature control.

With Northflank, you can host Unleash in minutes using the Unleash stack template. This prebuilt setup handles scaling, networking, storage, and security, so you can focus on managing feature flags instead of managing servers.

If you’re new to the platform and wondering what is Unleash, it’s a feature management system that lets you create, manage, and evaluate feature toggles across services and environments.

You can manage strategies, segments, and environments from a single dashboard. Many teams host Unleash on Docker, connect it to PostgreSQL for persistence, and use it to safely roll out features and run experiments in production.

The Unleash stack template provisions everything needed for a production-ready Unleash environment.

It includes:

• A deployment service running the official unleashorg/unleash-server:latest Docker image
• A PostgreSQL addon for storing feature toggles, segments, and runtime data
• A secret group for configuring default admin credentials and database connection variables

This setup gives you a complete Unleash feature management environment, ready to manage flags with minimal configuration.

1. Create an account on Northflank
2. Click Deploy Unleash now to open the template
3. Select Deploy stack to automatically provision the deployment and PostgreSQL database
4. Wait for the Unleash service to finish deploying
5. Open the Unleash service from your Northflank dashboard
6. Access the generated public domain to reach your Unleash dashboard
7. (Optional) Add a custom domain for production or branded access

This stack template gives you a full-featured setup for Unleash feature management:

• Create and manage feature toggles across environments and services
• Run gradual rollouts and A/B experiments with flexible strategies
• Securely store flags, segments, and audit data in PostgreSQL
• Integrate Unleash SDKs across multiple languages and platforms
• Scale feature evaluation without handling infrastructure manually

It follows production best practices and can be connected to GitHub repositories for configuration and deployment workflows if desired.

1. Main Service – Hosts the Unleash application and API for managing feature toggles
2. PostgreSQL – Stores feature definitions, segments, strategy data, and runtime state

Environment variables are automatically configured for secure, production-ready operation, including admin credentials and database connections.

Deploying Unleash on Northflank is the easiest way to run a modern, open-source feature management platform that is reliable, developer-friendly, and built for performance.

You now have a scalable, secure, and production-ready Unleash environment, with everything you need to manage feature rollouts without worrying about infrastructure.
