Type-safe app configuration: a powerful, emerging way to accelerate product development
summary
Demo shows turning a single Boolean feature flag into a type-safe client backed object schema (discount {isEnabled percentage name}), then into a list flag with a GraphQL argument for codes, using npx hypertune to regenerate types and catch compile errors. Built Hypertune with local evaluation, one initial network fetch plus a build-time snapshot fallback, Git-style versioning and a machine learning loop that auto-converges variants; setup claims under 10 minutes and runs live in production.
