Frequently asked

Sankofa vs Firebase Remote Config, answered.

Is Sankofa Remote Config a real Firebase Remote Config replacement?

Yes. Sankofa handles the same primitives — keyed values, conditional overrides, percentage rollouts, and SDK-side default fallbacks. The differences are self-hosting, the bonded audit log, and the automatic rollback loop.

How fast does config propagate compared to Firebase?

Sankofa pushes config updates over an open SDK connection in seconds. Firebase Remote Config typically takes a few minutes to propagate via its CDN refresh cadence. For latency-critical config changes (incident response, kill-switch payloads), the seconds-vs-minutes difference is material.

Can I move off Google Cloud entirely by using Sankofa?

Yes, if Firebase Remote Config is the last GCP service holding you there. Sankofa runs on any Kubernetes cluster — AWS, GCP, Azure, Hetzner, on-prem.

Is Sankofa Remote Config pricing competitive with the Firebase free tier?

Sankofa Remote Config has a free tier on every plan. The paid tiers start at $9/month and don't meter parameter fetches the way Firebase does at scale.
