OpenFeature β open standard for feature flags
I believe the idea is that you run feature flag management as a separate service. It's not meant for desktop software but rather as a component of a microservices architecture. This is not uncommon - I know at least one of the FAANGs has something like this internally.

Add Feature Flags with only a JSON flat file in NodeJS
Instead of returning a static value, the code above uses OpenFeature and the Flagd provider (feature flag backend) to retrieve flag values (we will see how flagd reads the JSON file soon).
