Motivation

FFE (feature flag & experimentation) SDKs include a local configuration cache that allows flag evaluations to continue even when the APM agent becomes unavailable.

If the local cache fails to work while RC is down, then evaluations fall-back to programmatic defaults which is undesirable.

Changes

  • Adds ability to container class to start/stop
  • New test which starts the flagging SDK in a healthy state, shuts down the agent, pushes a new RC configuration (which can't be delivered) and tests whether the flagging SDK continues serving last good configuration.

Workflow

  1. ⚠️ Create your PR as draft ⚠️
  2. Work on you PR until the CI passes
  3. Mark it as ready for review
    • Test logic is modified? -> Get a review from RFC owner.
    • Framework is modified, or non obvious usage of it -> get a review from R&P team

🚀 Once your PR is reviewed and the CI green, you can merge it!

Reviewer checklist

  • If PR title starts with [<language>], double-check that only <language> is impacted by the change
  • No system-tests internal is modified. Otherwise, I have the approval from R&P team
  • A docker base image is modified?
    • the relevant build-XXX-image label is present
  • A scenario is added (or removed)?
