Yes, I am using the cloud. However, there is no need to enable it.

By default, that tracking call is never fired.

Our plan is to keep the SDK 100% local by default (no external HTTP requests made). Then, we can add opt-in functionality like realtime usage tracking on top of that core.
When enabled, the realtime usage can show you, for example, how many times each feature is evaluated and which rules are being used.

It's not for us to track you, it's to help you debug how your feature flags are being used by your users.

09/12/2022, 1:40 PM@future-teacher-7046 Is there any plan to add an environment levels access, for example block access to production environment to a certain user role?
