Bucket DX Launch Week

This week, for Bucket’s first-ever launch week, we’re shipping new features with one goal in mind: to level up the workflow for shipping features faster using Bucket.

What got us started was a simple question. What does life look like when you create a new feature?

Tools and automations have emerged to help you take features from design to deployment faster than ever. Yet there’s still a lot of friction baked into the workflows of creating and working with feature flags.

Especially if you’re building SaaS, everything feels awkward and everyday tasks are more difficult than you expect.

That’s because most feature flagging tools try to solve multiple use cases that are very different – from ecommerce to SaaS. The result is feature bloat and complexity that gets in your way. While A/B experiments may be relevant for funnel optimization in ecommerce, it’s irrelevant in SaaS. Similarly, in SaaS the company entity and its subscription plan is core so the flagging tool has to be based around this, not users or some amorphous concept like keys.

Bucket is purpose-built for the SaaS use case, so we can strip away all of that friction. It’s why we’re doubling down on DX. This week we’re not releasing some random grab bag of features, but a series of improvements, enabling workflows that just work.

First up: Bucket CLI and Type Safety

Today we shipped a command line interface (CLI) that you can use to interact with Bucket. The CLI not only makes it easy to create new features from the command line, but it also helps you maintain type safety for your features, too. You can read more about it here.

Check back in over the course of the week

Each day there will be something new, tackling the friction that’s keeping you from shipping new features faster.
