What problem does it solve?
Configuration management for services is error-prone and hard to audit; this design provides a repeatable, validated approach to how services read configuration from multiple sources while handling secrets safely and enabling hot-reload where safe.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Schema-based configuration with startup validation to fail-fast on invalid configs.
- Clear precedence rules (flags > env > file > defaults) and multi-env promotion.
- Support for multiple sources: environment variables, config files, remote config, and secret stores.
- Secrets isolation: avoid storing secrets in code or repo; supports vault/KMS integration.
- Drift detection and observability hooks to monitor configuration changes and stability.
Quick Start
Provide a sample service and run through the full configuration flow to validate schema, precedence, and drift detection.
