What is IBM Cloud® App Configuration?

Many organizations are moving to cloud-native development. For these organizations, speed is more important than ever. IBM Cloud App Configuration addresses the need for speed and granularity of configuration by offering a central configuration store combined with feature flags that help modify environment configurations and app features on the fly.

Features

• **Single dashboard: **Use collections to organize flags by app or resource and easily manage and configure complex applications.
• **Granular control: **Activate features for different segments at different times, or vary features by segment or percentage.
• **Flexible feature rollout: **Decouple feature rollouts from deployments to eliminate time-consuming pipeline runs.
• **Instant rollback: **Simply toggle feature flags in the cloud dashboard to roll back problematic features.

Benefits

• **Improved control: **Manage configuration values across services, clouds and environments from a central dashboard.
• **Easy monitoring: **Send configuration events to Sysdig and Activity Tracker on IBM Cloud.
• **Reduced complexity: **Reduce source code complexity and troublesome merges by using feature flags in master branches.
• **Developer flexibility: **Decouples feature rollouts from deployments and provide a DevOps “kill switch.”
