Show HN: We built an open-source LaunchDarkly alternative for B2Bs

#1

Post by nirga »

Hey HN, Nir, Gal and Tomer here. Last week, we open-sourced Enrolla (https://github.com/enrolla/enrolla) - feature management for SaaS companies. It makes it easy for developers to control how their product behaves for customers in different pricing tiers. So things like which features are enabled for whom, rate limits and seat limits, but also your customer secrets (with end-to-end encryption), and other configurations.

After 15 years of working together at various companies, where we rebuilt the same SaaS foundation layer again and again - we wanted to create something reliable and feature-rich that will be available for everyone. We now have a backoffice UI, a backend and SDKs for managing customer features and a way to manage pricing tiers on top of it. We plan to add more features around metering and integration with Stripe, so that ideally Enrolla can be used to bootstrap any new SaaS software in minutes.

We’ve launched this repo under the MIT license so any developer can use it. The goal is not to charge individual developers. We make money by charging a license fee for enterprise features like Salesforce/Hubspot and SSO integrations.

Give it a try (https://github.com/enrolla/enrolla), and let us know what you think!

Main website: https://www.enrolla.io

How would you describe your feature set or competitive advantage against Unleash? https://www.getunleash.io/ Agreed that LaunchDarkly is incredibly over priced.

Unleash is open source (Apache 2.0 License). Repo: https://github.com/Unleash/unleash .

Growthbook (as mentioned in a sibling comment) is also open source (MIT License). Repo: https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook

Would be interested in knowing the feature differences between the three as they are all Node / Typescript projects

Great points! I think the main differentiation for us is the connection to pricing and billing. Let’s say you have a feature like “how many seats (users) this customer has” it’s not enough to just be able to define it and fetch it where’ve you need it - which is basically what the tools you mentioned will give you. It depends on which pricing tier the customer’s in. Maybe they bought 5 seats but then 2 more as an add on on top of it. Maybe you want to allow them to use more seats, but just bill them accordingly.

Does it make sense?

Looks good. My friend launched Flagsmith a few years back too - https://github.com/Flagsmith/flagsmith . I have used it on a few of my own projects and it’s been great/easy to integrate

I love flagsmith! I just commented below that I think what makes what we’re doing different is the focus on SaaS and costumer features - so which features are enabled for whom based on the pricing tier they’re at.

Congrats on launching! I really like the dashboard UI and the clean documentation.

We are running an open source React-based framework called "refine" for building any kind of CRUD app like admin panels, dashboards, forms and internal tool etc. If you want to take a look, here is the repo: Repo: https://github.com/refinedev/refine
