Environments, Deployments & Feature Flags

Paved Path

• Environments: Staging and Prod
• Promotion: branch‑based
• Hosting: Next.js → Vercel, Backend → Firebase Cloud Functions
• Release strategy: Canary
• Feature Flags: Firebase Remote Config

Client-side example:

import { getRemoteConfig } from 'firebase/remote-config';
export async function getFlag(rc: ReturnType<typeof getRemoteConfig>, key: string, fallback: string) {
  const value = rc.getString(key);
  return value || fallback;
}

Server-side example using Admin SDK:

import { getRemoteConfig } from 'firebase-admin/remote-config';
export async function isEnabled(key: string) {
  const rc = getRemoteConfig();
  const template = await rc.getTemplate();
  return template.parameters[key]?.defaultValue?.value === 'true';
}

LLM Notes

• Use Remote Config for gradual rollouts/canaries. Do not hard‑code flags.
