Boolean, actor, group and percentage-of-time gates Adapters for Active Record, Redis and others A web UI mounted in your app Flag checks that are a local lookup, not a network call A hosted flag service either adds a network hop to every check, or ships an SDK that caches and then eventually-consistently diverges. Flipper reads from a table you are already querying.
