Feature Flags

Feature flags allow system administrators to manage what features are available to the system's tenants. They can use this capability to roll out new features to VerteX tenants in a controlled manner or choose not to implement a feature for their tenants due to security or compliance reasons.

Features enabled by system administrators are applied to all tenants in the system. Once a feature is enabled, it cannot be disabled.

warning

We recommend trying out new features in a test environment before enabling them in a production environment. Depending on the feature, enabling it may have a significant impact on the system and current workloads.

Review the following section for detailed instructions on enabling and managing feature flags.
