It is an expression used to praise or acknowledge something someone is saying. For ex:- If someone tells you about the new course they've taken up. You can reply with 'Good for you!' Although it is nowadays used in a sarcastic way as well. Happy Learning!

The phrase can be used in different ways depending on how people use it. It can either literally mean what it sounds like, a congratulatory phrase, Or it can also be used as a rude or sarcastic remark, in a negative way.
