Case Study: alt.bank achieves simpler continuous deployments with Flagsmith

Simpler Deployments and Feature Flagging for Fintech Firms

alt.bank, a Brazilian fintech firm, sought to improve its feature flagging capabilities as its product and customer base scaled. Their initial tool, which had limited feature toggle functionality, was insufficient and began causing issues for users. They needed a scalable, dedicated feature flagging solution and considered building one in-house before turning to vendor options, ultimately selecting Flagsmith for its affordability and ability to handle their high request volumes.

Flagsmith provided a specialized feature flagging platform that enabled simpler, continuous deployments for alt.bank's mobile application. This allowed the team to make small, gradual changes without needing full app releases or lengthy approval processes. The solution was also crucial in their architectural shift from a monolith to microservices, as Flagsmith could be integrated with their new backend systems. The implementation provided the scalability and critical support the fintech firm required for its rapid growth.
