Appconfiguration: Use App configuration as a feature toggle service?

[David-Stark]

Hello!

With a high chance that this question sounds like a stupid one.

How well will App Configuration work as a simple feature toggle service? We look for a service that can help us to toggle a feature without we have to restart our app.

Thanks in advance

@David-Stark App Configuration can be used to store feature toggles as configuration data. You'll need to do some work to consume the data as toggles in your application. We'll be releasing specific support for this use case very shortly. Please stay tuned! :)

Sounds great!

Thanks for the fast response =)

@David-Stark we just rolled out feature management support. Plesae check it out.

Any feedback is welcome.

Is it planned for feature management to gain label support as with key/values? This would allow us to differentiate enabling a feature in dev vs live or in different regions by label

@chris-eg that's a reasonable scenario. Yes, we will allow labels for feature management just like key/values.
