They literally are configuration.

They literally are configuration.
Oh yeah lets make a web request per service invocation to figure out what to serve for the invocation!
Guys this is exactly the kind of banal crap that makes a simple app into a monsterous beast that won't work unless it's connected to the internet.
There's no web request per service invocation.
Feature flags are set once at startup (or specific events like hard refresh, or new login) and then simply included in the request headers.
It's not rocket science, but I'm sure people are free to overcomplicate it.
