Thank you for the feedback, this is helpful!

One of the features we're excited about adding is a way to cache values locally. Having control of cache ttl and refresh intervals would be a must if we added that. You're right that the tool should just work without the developer worrying about affecting latency.

I’m sure you are already considering this but you’ll probably want the ability to “background” update the local cache so that you don’t have a request hang randomly every X minutes. Also might be nice to specify “I’m ok with a potentially old cache value” on a per-key basis. In my case I think I’d always be fine with “if you can’t reach the config server just use what you last got”.
