backend only? #13

Closed trondhindenes closed 2 years ago

trondhindenes commented 2 years ago

Hi, this is a really interesting initative! I just briefly read thru the specs, and it seems to me that this is primarily targeted at backend apps, since it relies on sidecar apps and crds etc. How about frontends that might run direcly off of a cdn coupled with s3 or similar static storage? Or mobile apps?

It would be good if the spec at least mentioned how "non-backend" apps would integrate with this

Hi @trondhindenes, thanks for the feedback. The focus has been backend apps so far but the goal will be to support front-end technologies as well. Client side feature flags are similar but introduce complexities around security and privacy that need to be considered. When I get a chance, I'll update the doc to include additional information.

If you have any interest in helping to define the spec, please considering joining our upcoming community meeting.

The priority of client-side feature flagging will be discussed in #65
