Dynamic Config

What is a Dynamic Config?​

Dynamic configs replace hard-coded values in your application with JSON defined on the server. Statsig users leverage Dynamic Configs to avoid hard-coding configuration values of any kind in their code - and change it dynamically near real-time. You can also target Dynamic Configs, providing different experiences based on user attributes. These configuration parameters can include any property across your client-side or server-side application code, from button colors to ranking configurations.

When to Use a Dynamic Config​

Many technology companies use tools such as dynamic config to make their server-side code the source of truth for configurable application properties. For example, Spotify uses Remote Configuration to dynamically update properties of their clients or backend services.

Examples of Use Cases:​

  • Feature Toggles: Dynamically enable or disable features without code changes.
  • A/B Testing: Vary configurations across user segments to measure impact.
  • Real-Time Updates: Instantly adjust app properties like UI elements or service thresholds.
