Where is the tldr? Anyone familiar…what does this do and why do we care about it being standards based?

This is a “standard” SDK for feature flags, allowing you to avoid vendor lock-in.

i.e., using feature flag SaaS ABC but want to try out XYZ? if you’re using ABC’s own DDK, refactor your codebase.

I appreciate that you can use the OpenFeature SDK with environment variables, and move into a SaaS (or custom) solution when you’re ready.
