Conform and distillery have been the saving grace of deploying reproducible builds.<p>The disjointedness of how configuration worked between dev and prod though bugged me to the point that I try to only use libraries that don’t solely rely on config.exs for config and take configuration as an argument. I generally write functions around their functions to pull from ENV variables.<p>It’s a bit of ceremony but it feels better.<p>There are still a lot of libraries that pull configuration “magically” from Application in the middle of a function and don’t expose a way other than config.exs to change them though. This makes me sad.<p>Edit: I forgot to say thanks for all the awesome work bitwalker!
