Secret features

When you create a feature today, the feature becomes available for use in your browser application through Bucket SDKs. That means the feature is retrievable through our public facing API using a publishable key. For most features, this is desirable because it lets you toggle features in your app UI. It also lets you build integrations right in your app.

However, once in a while you're working on something you need to keep secret from everyone. For this use-case, we've made it possible to mark features as secret on Bucket. Secret features are not retrievable with a publishable key — only with a secret key. That means you can use a feature on your backend and ensure that the feature key is never revealed to any users.
