What This Skill Does
Azure App Configuration SDK for TypeScript provides programmatic access to Azure App Configuration, a managed service for centralizing application settings and feature flags. It covers both low-level CRUD operations and a high-level provider for runtime configuration loading with dynamic refresh. Feature flags support targeting rules, rollout percentages, and user/group-based rollouts.
Dynamic refresh and snapshot support let you change configuration or toggle features in a live app without a redeploy, which environment variables and config files cannot do.
When to use it
- Loading environment-specific settings (dev, staging, prod) from a single Azure resource using labels
- Rolling out a new UI feature to 10% of users via a targeting filter without redeploying
- Resolving Key Vault secrets through app config references at runtime
- Creating a named snapshot of production settings before a release for rollback reference
- Refreshing feature flag state in a running Express app without a restart
