Ask HN: Do you use an external service for application configuration?

6 pointsby GeorgeMacover 1 year ago
I&#x27;m interested in understanding how folks configure the systems they build and the reasoning behind those choices. I am mostly curious about those using online configuration services and APIs, as opposed to process-level configuration (env vars, command line arguments and files). But if you just use those instead, that is good to know too!<p>Some specifics that would be great to know about:<p>- What service do you use (something OSS, proprietary or home grown)? - What makes it such a good fit for your use-case? - Does it have any features to ensure your configuration is valid for your application? - How do you understand what changed in your configuration during an incident? - Does it favour consistency or availability? - How do your applications access it? Does it support push, pull or both? - Do you need specific permissions or peer-review to make changes to configuration?
