A dynamic config is a tool that replaces hard-coded values in your application with configuration parameters defined on the server. This allows you to control the behavior of your application dynamically in near real-time.

For example, a dynamic config called localization could be used to retrieve localized strings for users in different countries. Users in Spanish-speaking countries would see Spanish strings, while users in French and Korean-speaking countries would see French and Korean strings respectively.

Dynamic Config API functions

The Dynamic Config API provides several functions to interact with dynamic configs:

• Create a new dynamic config: This function allows you to create a new dynamic config in the Statsig console.

• Read data from existing dynamic configs: This function allows you to retrieve data from existing dynamic configs.

• Update properties of a dynamic config: This function allows you to modify the properties of an existing dynamic config.

• Delete a dynamic config: This function allows you to remove an existing dynamic config.

Dynamic Config Use Cases

Dynamic configs can be used for a variety of purposes, including:

• Configuring a new feature for a handful of customers

• Defining custom metric types

• Keeping a store of legacy data fields on customer domains that are infrequently accessed

• Saving the non-secret parts of connection configurations for internal usage
