AppConfig Feature Flag Boilerplate

This repository uses an AWS CodePipelines and CloudFormation templates to deploy AppConfig Feature Flags to multiple environments.

The AppConfig Feature Flags are deployed in up to three different regions using a single CodePipeline.

Most of the files in this repository are CloudFormation templates, Markdown files, JSON configurations, and Node.js files.

NOTE: Better documentation is coming for this repository.
