Feature Sliders for Rails Arturo provides feature sliders for Rails. It lets you turn features on and off just like feature flippers, but offers more fine-grained control. It supports deploying features only for a given percentage of your users and whitelisting and blacklisting users based on any criteria you can express in Ruby. 208 stars on GitHub · APLv2 licensed · maintained by zendesk.

Questions
- What is the difference between Arturo and Split?
- Arturo and Split both sit in experiments, but they solve different parts of it.
- Can I mount both Arturo and Split in the same Rails app?
- Technically yes — engines mount at different paths — but they overlap, so running both usually means two sets of tables doing one job. Pick one.
