> Are flags evaluated in-memory, locally? (Hopefully!)

This seems like a MUST rather than a SHOULD, right?

I would have thought so. But flagsmith apparently does primarily server-side eval. And even OpenFeature has `flagd`, which I guess is a sidecar, so a sort of hybrid approach.

And LaunchDarkly's Big Segments fetch segment inclusion data live from redis (although I believe they then cache it for a while).

If this is the case, then flag evaluation can't possibly be part of any kind of hot loop, right?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guess see if dabeeeenster is monitoring this thread anymore and ask them?
