This looks cool! Stablecoin on-ramps are still not perfect. I think it's important to meet customers where they're at, so a lot of the banking-centric onboarding options won't work everywhere. Don't really understand a lot of the criticism on this thread, seems to mostly be caused by the "crypto = bad" opinion. Good luck with Karsa, keep up the good work!

CTO of Vigilant here. Does anyone have ideas on how to do versioning for an SDK that you change often? Would putting new features in a "beta" release version make sense?

This is really awesome, great job!

Thank you for the feedback, this is helpful!

One of the features we're excited about adding is a way to cache values locally. Having control of cache ttl and refresh intervals would be a must if we added that. You're right that the tool should just work without the developer worrying about affecting latency.

You could make a variable like `rollout_percent` that is an number. It could be set to 1. Then in your app you could do something like:

const rollout_percent = await varse_client.getNumber('rollout_percent');

const random_number = Math.random() * 100;

if (random_number <= rollout_percent) {

// do gated action and will trigger for 1% of users when rollout_percent === 1

}

The axios point is helpful, thank you for mentioning it. I'll make a bug ticket to fix.

Also, we should probably put restrictions the keyname scheme. Ideally, it should be something readable.

Just updated the repo. Thanks for the clarification.

Yeah that's a good point. We meant application config. I will change the repo's description to reflect this.

Feature Flags looks like it's crafted around automated rollouts. Varse was designed to be more manual, just for reading / writing key - value pairs. You can use it to store long-lived variables like database_url. It could also be used for short lived variables like percent_db_migration_rollout.

Have you used Feature Flags in the past? I'm curious what your experience was.

It's a variable or config that gets injected into a server at runtime. At least that's what I've heard it called in the past. I think it's interchangeable with environment variable.
