Remote config
Remote config enables us to do the following with the mobile apps, without needing to release a new version:
- Globally turn off the whole app (i.e. kill switch)
- Turn off individual features
- Force users to update their app if they are running too low a version
- Recommend (but not force) users to update their app if they are running too low a version
- Configure other general parameters for the app
Runbook
Instructions for updating remote config (the runbook) is available here
