Switchbox is a feature flag service that stores flag configurations as a static JSON file served via a CDN. This approach eliminates the need for a dedicated backend or database, relying instead on CDN infrastructure for delivery and availability. Developers can toggle features by updating the JSON file, which is then distributed globally through the CDN.

Clever minimalist approach to feature flags, but lacks auth, versioning, and real-time updates; limited vs. established solutions like LaunchDarkly.
