Why betterconfig

A config tool built by people who ship to production.

Everything Firebase Remote Config should have been, executed like Linear. Dense, keyboard-first, and refuses to pretend that "save and pray" is a deploy strategy.

Typed, not stringly-typed

Every flag has a JSON schema. The editor catches type errors, the SDK generates types, the CI gate blocks drift. No more Boolean.parseBoolean(config.getString(...)).

PR-style change review

Diffs, approvers, required reviewers, status checks. Your config changes finally get the same scrutiny as your code — because they are code.

Rollback that actually works

Every value is a git-like commit. One-click revert propagates to every live SDK in under 30 seconds. No waiting on cache TTLs. No re-submitting to the app store.

Review

Your config changes go through the same front door as your code.

Open a change request. Show a unified diff of values and targeting rules. Require N approvers per environment. Gate on typecheck, schema validation, canary synthetics, and crash-free guardrails.

  • Unified diffsValue JSON, schema, and targeting rules — in one review.
  • Required reviewers per envProd gets two. Staging gets one. Dev is yours.
  • Status checksBlock merge on failing canaries, schema errors, or crash-rate guardrails.
  • Auto-merge when readyQueue it and walk away. We ship when the last check goes green.

Editor

A real editor. Keys, types, docs — all hoverable.

Monaco-powered JSON with live schema validation. Hover any property for its type, description, and allowed values. Autocomplete from enums. Autoformat on save. Autogenerate TypeScript, Swift, and Kotlin types from the schema.

  • Hoverable schema docsEvery key documents itself, right where you edit it.
  • Generated SDK typesPush a schema change, get a typed PR against your iOS, Android, and web clients.
  • Structured targetingBuild rules with attributes and operators. Or paste an expression. Both work.

Rollback

Every bad deploy is 30 seconds from being a non-event.

Every change is a commit. Pick any version in history, hit revert, and every live SDK has the old config within 30 seconds. No cache TTL. No app store re-review. No Slack thread starting with "who pushed this."

  • Sub-30s propagationLong-poll connections, edge-cached config, signed payloads.
  • Single-approver rollback policyOpt-in: any on-caller can roll back without the usual N-approver gate.
  • Impact previewBefore you revert, see exactly how many users shift and to what value.
