Feature Flags

The demo provides several feature flags that you can use to simulate different scenarios. These flags are managed by flagd, a simple feature flag service that supports OpenFeature. Flag values are stored in the src/flagd/demo.flagd.json file. To enable a flag, change the defaultVariant value in the config file for a given flag to “on”.
