Feature Flags

Overview

Aira uses feature flags to gradually roll out new features and let customers control what is enabled in their deployment.

Cloud customers: features are enabled by the Aira team based on your plan
Self-hosted customers: you control your own flags via environment variables or the dashboard

Checking your flags

curl -s https://your-domain/api/v1/feature-flags \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" | jq .flags

Self-hosted: enabling features

Two ways to enable a feature:

1. Dashboard

Go to Settings > Feature Flags (admin only) and toggle the flag on.

2. Environment variable

Add ENABLE_{FLAG_NAME}=true to your .env file and restart:

# Example: enable Slack integration
echo "ENABLE_SLACK_INTEGRATION=true" >> /opt/aira/.env
docker rollout api                    # zero-downtime restart
docker compose restart worker         # worker is non-HTTP, safe

Available feature flags

Flag	Default	Description	Status
compliance_reports	Enabled	EU AI Act, DORA, ISO 42001 compliance reports	GA

Beta features

Features marked as Beta are functional but may change. They are disabled by default. To opt in:

Cloud: contact support@airaproof.com to enable for your organization
Self-hosted: enable via environment variable or dashboard

Feature flags are cached for 5 minutes. After changing a flag, allow up to 5 minutes for the change to take effect, or restart the API service for immediate effect.

Disabling a GA feature flag may break existing workflows that depend on it. Only disable GA flags if you have a specific reason.
