Multi-layer data cache to prevent user experience interrupts during feature flag management

A non-transitory medium with instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• detect a usage of a computer program that is stored on, and is executable by, the computing device;
• access data that is associated with a feature flag that indicates availability of a feature offered by the computer program and that is stored in a first cache that persists when the computer program is exited;
• establish that at least a threshold amount of time has elapsed between the usage and a prior usage of the computer program;
• and
• move the data from the first cache to a second cache that is used for updating the computer program and that is erased when the computer program is exited.

A method for updating functionality of a computer program that is executable by a computing device using a multi-layer cache to lessen data processing flow disruption, the method comprising:

• loading data related to a change in the functionality of the computer program into a first cache that persists in a memory of the computing device when the computer program is exited;
• determining that the computer program has not been active in a foreground of an operating system executing on the computing device for at least a threshold amount of time;
• and
• moving, in response to said determining, the data from the first cache to a second cache that is erased when the computer program is exited.
