Hi HN, I’m Ignat and I built Switchbox, a feature flags management platform that serves the configs as a static JSON file on a CDN.That’s pretty much it. The whole flow is like this:- The user sets the feature configs in the UI dashboard- They set the SDK inside their code and use the flags to guide their features.- The SDK polls the configs from the CDN every ~30 seconds and caches the values- The user’s code gets almost no lag for the flag evaluation since it’s happening in-process and there are no external calls for it.The architecture itself allows for my servers to stay with really low traffic and yet the configs will be available with really insignificant lag added to the user’s apps.T
