Joystick - Modern Remote Configuration Platform

Joystick is a modern remote configuration & dynamic content platform that allows you to make hot-updates to apps, games and systems without the overhead of code changes. Our mission is to empower teams to build and operate products more effectively, then iterate faster. Update anything, anywhere. Instantly.

Take minutes to do what traditionally would take days or weeks. There is a high cost in time and resources when change code. Joystick allows you to make changes to your app or game without code changes, builds or waiting for app store approvals.

Decouple and externalized configurations so updates to your app or game can happen in minutes, rather than wait days or weeks for code changes, builds and app store approvals..

Instant, Safe Updates Without Code Changes

Joystick was built from the frustration of having to wait days or weeks for code merges, builds and deploys to make changes to apps and games. It is now a full operations platform that the whole team can use. Changes go live instantly and are served at scale.

Get Started in 3 Steps

1. Create a Config

Enter any valid JSON config. We do not restrict you to simple key:value pairs. The config you create is instantly available over API. Any subsequent edits you make are instantly available. We keep a full history of revisions that you can revert to with one click.

2. Create an API Key

An API Key allows you to get your content from an environment.

3. Get Config in Your App or Game

With your API in hand, you are ready to get your config over REST API.

POST https://api.getjoystick.com/api/v1/config/:contentId/dynamic

{
    "u": "",
    "p": {}
}   

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.getjoystick.com/api/v1/config/:contentId/dynamic' \
--header 'X-Api-Key: YOUR-API-KEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"u": "", "p": {}}'

{
    "data":
    {
        "greeting": "Hello, world!"
    },
    "hash": "2277e0d4",
    "meta":
    {
        "uid": 0, "mod": 0, "seg": []
    }
}
