  Unleash is the open-source feature management platform enabling progressive delivery,
  A/B testing, and canary releases through feature flags (feature toggles). Teams use
  Unleash to decouple code deployments from feature releases, control rollouts by user
  segment, run experiments with variants, and maintain kill switches for rapid incident
  response. Available as open-source (self-hosted) and as Unleash Cloud (managed).
