Firebase Remote Config loading strategies
Blog post from Firebase
Firebase Remote Config implementation involves setting local default values, fetching updated cloud values, and activating fetched values, but network delays require apps to choose an appropriate loading strategy. Developers can activate and refresh immediately, use a startup loading screen to ensure fresh values before users enter the app, or activate previously fetched values at launch while asynchronously downloading updates for the next session; hybrid approaches can use the age of the last fetch to determine which method to use. Remote Config caches values, typically for 12 hours, and throttles frequent requests to preserve service capacity, prevent accidental overuse, and reduce users’ battery and data consumption, while developer mode can relax local throttling during testing. For highly time-sensitive content, Firebase Realtime Database may be more suitable, while urgent but infrequent Remote Config updates can be prompted through Firebase Cloud Messaging by flagging clients to perform an uncached fetch on their next app launch rather than triggering simultaneous fetches across all devices.
