On this, we support publishing the state to object storage (S3, Azure, GCS) and to OCI as well in Flipt.

Flipt Open-Source can be run to consume from these locations. You can go as far as configuring a workflow to publish on push, so that you can combine our managed UI with any of these distributions methods through Git.

With any of these backends (including Git), we periodically fetch and cache data in-memory. Evaluations work on an in-mem snapshot. So temporary downtime doesn't propagate into your applications being unable to get flag evaluations.

Caching in this scenario isn't something I'd lean on unless you can invalidate or repopulate easily. I've used etcd in a feature flag scenario due to the speed of it's replication and it's ability to queried frequently without the need for caching.
