Client-side user (CSU)
CloudBees platform
A client-side user (CSU) represents a unique client instance, such as a mobile app, browser session, or device, that evaluates one or more feature flags through a client-side SDK during a billing period (typically 30 days).
Each distinct client that sends evaluation requests to the feature management service is counted as one CSU.
CloudBees uses CSUs to measure feature flag usage and calculate billing for client-side SDKs.
Examples
If the same person uses your application on both their iPhone and laptop browser, those are counted as two CSUs.
If the same device evaluates multiple feature flags, it’s still counted as one CSU for that billing period.
| The term “user” above refers to unique clients accessing feature management services, not necessarily authenticated application users. |
