Maybe I’m not fully understanding what this product is doing. For something like configs/feature flags, it imo should be dynamic.

I was thinking that git (in a separate repo from main code) would be used to store the changes to configs, but then you would still need a system that tails the git changes and distributes them to clients.

That’s the way config serving was done at Facebook - a mercurial repo with all configs and tooling to edit configs which creates mercurial commits. Then, the mercurial repo is continuously tailed and values are saved to ZooKeeper, and then client libraries read config data from zookeeper / subscribe to updates / etc.
