Remote Config for server side
Remote Config is extremely powerful, but to have the same features for server-side feature flagging and A/B testing we have to use something like LaunchDarkly which is a. Expensive b. Another set of SDK & libraries to add to both frontend and backend.
Where Firebase provides remote config, A/B testing, and personalization with the power of Google Analytics and Google's ML capability I think it's obvious Remote config Admin SDK will provide a significant benefit. Since analytics and remote config is already used in frontend it's a no-brainer to add them to the backend and provide a seamless end-to-end user experience.

It was just announced at Google I/O that Remote Config would become a "full stack" feature flagging solution. So I think this one is "planned" or "started".
