About Azure App Configuration

Azure App Configuration is a Microsoft Azure service that stores application settings and feature flags in one central place. Instead of scattering configuration across files and deployments, teams keep it in the service and let applications read it at runtime, which simplifies configuration management across environments.

App Configuration is a proprietary Microsoft service delivered through Azure, with no self-hosted edition. Microsoft documents its tiers, supported client libraries and pricing on the Azure site, and it suits teams building on Azure who want feature flags and settings managed alongside the rest of their cloud resources.
