OpenFeature Update From the Maintainers
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · on Wednesday, 2025-04-02· at 11:15· Level 3 | ICC Capital Suite 10-12·
summary
OpenFeature adds code generation via CLI that turns flags into typed variables (currently experimental for Go and React using a JSON flag manifest), and two vendors already emit manifests (DevCycle and go-feature-flag). A new tracking API (spec v0.8) lets SDKs send application metrics and ties flag evaluations to events; Python, Kotlin, Swift and Ruby SDKs support it now and it’s still experimental. OpenTelemetry semantic conventions land as a stable draft, and an OpenFeature Remote Evaluation Protocol (OFREP) draft is implemented by flagd, flip and others.
