Boilerplate

This boilerplate demonstrates how to integrate Vercel Flags in a Next.js application, enabling feature flag management for controlled rollouts. It includes Next.js App Router for the frontend, Next.js API Routes for backend logic, Drizzle ORM for database interactions, Docker Compose for auxiliary services, and shadcn/ui for a modern UI, providing a complete setup for feature toggle experimentation.

Technical Stack

• Feature Flags: Vercel Flags
• Frontend: Next.js (App Router)
• Backend: Next.js API Routes
• Database: Drizzle ORM
• UI Components: shadcn/ui
• Containerization: Docker Compose

Key Features

• Vercel Flags Integration: Demonstrates feature flagging in Next.js for controlled feature releases.
• Next.js App Router (Frontend): Implements a modern frontend architecture with server components.
• Next.js API Routes (Backend): Provides API endpoints for feature flag checks and other backend logic.
• Database Management with Drizzle ORM: Simplified SQL queries and schema handling.
• Containerized Development: Uses Docker Compose to orchestrate database and auxiliary services.
• Modern UI with shadcn/ui: Pre-styled components for a consistent and scalable UI.

Use Cases

This boilerplate is perfect for developers looking to implement feature flagging in a Next.js project using Vercel Flags. It is useful for A/B testing, gradual rollouts, environment-based feature toggling, and controlled experiments while maintaining a scalable architecture.

With Next.js App Router handling the frontend, API Routes managing the backend, Drizzle ORM for data, Docker Compose for services, and shadcn/ui for styling, this setup provides a real-world, practical implementation of feature flagging in Next.js! 🚀
