Overview

The Rails engine Sail brings a setting model into your app to be used as feature flags, gauges, knobs, and other live controls. It allows configurations to be saved to the database and changed while the application is running, without requiring a deploy. This enables live experiments and tuning to find the best setup for the application. Sail also provides a lightweight responsive admin dashboard for searching and changing configurations on the fly. Each setting is assigned a relevancy score based on its frequency of usage, allowing users to understand how critical changing a setting's value can be.
