# Dynamic configuration in Java with Server-Side Firebase Remote Config

**[Firebase Developers](https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-developers)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Firebase Remote Config now supports server-side configuration management for Java backends through the Firebase Admin SDK. Unlike client-side implementations where Firebase evaluates conditions, the server-side model fetches the entire configuration template and performs local evaluation based on runtime context like user ID, location, or subscription tier. The implementation involves initializing the Firebase Admin SDK with service account credentials, defining default values as failsafes, creating evaluation contexts with custom attributes, and using template.evaluate() to get dynamic configuration values. This approach enables feature flag management, A/B testing, and dynamic parameter adjustments without code redeployment.
