How can we ensure that dynamic configs in Statsig are only used on the backend and not exposed to the frontend?
Date of slack thread: 5/24/24
Anonymous: I did want to verify my understanding. For dynamic configs any settings we add will be publicly available wherever we use the statsig client in our frontend? Is there any way for us to have backend only dynamic configs?
Anonymous: I may be missing something but I am not seeing how configs can actually be limited to the backend and it appears the values appear in payload to the client when I add them.

We evaluated Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, Split, and Eppo, but ultimately selected Statsig due to its comprehensive end-to-end integration. We wanted a complete solution rather than a partial one, including everything from the stats engine to data ingestion.
