Non-Blocking Startup
Preload and background sync let the host accept traffic without waiting on the first network round-trip.
Blocking startup on flag sync adds tail latency to deploys and autoscaling events. SOASAP SDKs restore cache first and sync asynchronously.
Recommended pattern
- .NET —
AddSoasap(...).PreloadFlags() - Node / Python / mobile / web —
preload: truein client options
First evaluation uses cache + defaults; SSE catches up without delaying health checks or request handling.
If startup feels slow, see Startup Delays (legacy deep-dive).
