Getting Started with SDKs

1

SDK Type

Choose client-side or server-side—e.g., web apps may need both for SSR.

Client-Side

For single-user contexts (e.g., web/mobile apps).

Server-Side

For multi-user contexts (e.g., web servers, APIs).

Framework Support

FlagSync supports JavaScript in various forms:

JavaScript

React

Node.js

Contact FlagSync Support for other languages.

Security

• Use client-side keys (pk_test_ABC...) for web/mobile apps.
• Keep server-side keys (sk_test_DEF...) private to protect sensitive flag rules.

​

Initialization

• SDK initialization happens asynchronously—response time, usually 30-50 milliseconds, depends on flag count and ruleset complexity.
• Use a singleton pattern to avoid memory leaks—SDKs like Nest.js handle this automatically; others require manual setup.
