ConfigCat is a feature flag service, it allows you to react to errors and crash reports that Bugfender helps you track and understand.
Emergency kill switch
Let’s imagine, you just released a new feature called “New UI” and see crash reports arriving in Bugfender. The first thing you should consider is to turn off (or hide) the buggy feature from your users quickly before starting to investigate and fix it. ConfigCat provides a solution together with a GUI that allows you to do exactly that. Using ConfigCat feature flags, you can turn off certain features or parts of your application quickly using a simple web interface.
Gradual rollout, testing in production
Bugfender also allows you to collect logs to help you debug your apps more efficiently even in the production environment. That’s debugging in production.
With ConfigCat, you can release new features only to a few users first, then move forward and release progressively to a larger audience when feeling confident. That’s testing in production.
- Release to a few users first using ConfigCat.
- Identify, debug and fix bugs using Bugfender.
- Release to more users with ConfigCat.
- GOTO 2
Helping you support your customers
Let’s say you receive a customer complaint through your support channels. Bugfender allows your support folks to understand the customer’s problem. And ConfigCat allows your support to instantly turn off or reconfigure the functionality the user has a problem with.
