Selective Flag Retrieval in Feature Flag SDK
long-term
Matt Schillerstrom (PM for Feature Flags)
Background:
Our feature flag SDK currently retrieves all flags associated with a client/mobile key by default. While this approach ensures maximum flexibility, it can lead to performance issues when dealing with a large number of flags. To address this, we propose introducing a feature that allows users to selectively choose which flags to retrieve, improving performance and resource utilization.
Summary:
The feature request aims to enhance the flexibility and performance of our feature flag SDK by enabling users to specify which flags they want to retrieve for a given client/mobile key, rather than retrieving all flags by default.

Client side SDK seems to load all the flags

We are currently working on integrating our client side code with Harness. What we are observing is that even when we don't have any flags being fetched. This request fetches every single flag that we have set up in Harness so far. I thought the client side SDK only fetches flags that are requested. The current API call would greatly bloat the data downloaded by our clients.

This is currently something Harness wants to implement. We are waiting for more customer feedback and votes to prioritize this work.
