openfeature-provider-ofrep

What it is and what it does

This package is a provider plugin for the OpenFeature SDK that connects to remote flag evaluation servers using the OFREP protocol. It acts as a bridge between your application and a centralized feature flag service, allowing you to manage feature flags on a server rather than embedding them in your code.

You instantiate the OFREPProvider and register it with the OpenFeature API; from then on, flag evaluations are delegated to the remote OFREP server over HTTP via the requests library. This is useful when you want a single source of truth for feature flags across multiple services or environments.

Use it for:

• Centralize feature flag management across multiple microservices by pointing them all to a single OFREP-compliant server.
• Implement dynamic feature rollouts and A/B tests without redeploying your application code.
• Integrate with existing feature flag platforms or services that support the OFREP protocol.
• Separate flag configuration from application logic in a distributed system.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Integrates OpenFeature SDK with remote flag evaluation servers via the OpenFeature Remote Evaluation Protocol (OFREP), enabling centralized feature flag management over HTTP.

Yes, if you are already using OpenFeature SDK and have an OFREP-compliant remote evaluation server. The package is actively maintained, has no security issues, and low install friction. If you need local-only flags or do not have an OFREP server, this provider is not the right choice.

Install

openfeature-provider-ofrep on PyPI

pip install openfeature-provider-ofrep

uv add openfeature-provider-ofrep

poetry add openfeature-provider-ofrep

Installing openfeature-provider-ofrep

Before you install

Low friction install with only two runtime dependencies (openfeature-sdk and requests). Active maintenance with recent commits and no known vulnerabilities.

License in practice

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; suitable for most projects.

Quickstart

pip install openfeature-provider-ofrep

from openfeature import api
from openfeature.contrib.provider.ofrep import OFREPProvider

api.set_provider(OFREPProvider())

Requires Python 3.10 or later; also requires an OFREP-compliant remote evaluation server to be accessible.

• Configuration options mentioned as TODO in the description—what settings are actually available and required for production use
• Whether OFREP server compatibility or version requirements exist beyond Python 3.10+
