Hi Kacey. To answer your questions:
• The global environment toggles act as a kill switch. So if something breaks with a feature, it's one place to completely turn it off. If we leave override rules always active, there would be no easy way to turn everything off quickly.
• For additional metadata, we kind of support that now using other data types like JSON for your features. Is that what you're looking for?
• Multiple environments should be coming within a week
• No plans currently for a streaming service

• Can you point me to where I can specify they custom JSON types for features? I did not see it as an option.
• Awesome! I will let my team know.
• This is a nice to have so no biggie. I saw Harness feature flag's service has it as a feature but I think we can build this in house with GrowthBook too

When creating a feature, you can specify the value type. By default it's a boolean on/off value, but you can choose number, string, or JSON as the data type.

The SDKs all have methods for getting the value of a feature as opposed to just checking if it's on or off
