Hey Oded, this post was meant to demonstrate a very light-weight solution for feature flags. I agree they're not nearly as flexible as using runtime feature flags, but they also introduce downsides like having to pay for a service or hosting your own. This is totally worth it if you're building a (complex) web app though. By the way, with Netlify it's completely possible to do A/B testing by using feature flags in env variables :)
Didn't know about A/B testing env vars with Netlify, very cool! I'll check it out.
Firebase has a free tier if I'm not mistaken and I think AWS also has something. The integration effort is very small and it's worth it even for simpler apps IMO.
