This is my question. If your flags are in your repo, what is functionally the difference from just having them be variables in your code somewhere.

"Feature Flags that live inside your code" - That's just variables, no?

Feature flag state is still served dynamically through Flipt. Your code doesn’t have to redeploy for the changes to “become live”. That’s the main benefit.

Means you can experiment and target different cohorts with variants of your app without restarting processes everywhere.

Thank you. I guess I was imagining that the flags lived in your source code repo, and required a commit and push to update, thus triggering some CD build and redeploying your app anyways.
