Configuration as Code: Version Control for Your Settings
Configuration as Code treats your system settings like source code: defined in files, versioned, and automatically applied. It's used to manage app settings or service credentials across environments, preventing manual errors.
Configuration as Code (CaC) applies version control principles to system and application settings. Instead of manual tweaks, you define configurations in machine-readable files (like YAML) and store them in Git. This is crucial for managing settings like database connections or feature flags consistently across dev, staging, and production. The biggest footgun is storing secrets like API keys directly in these configuration files, even in private repositories.
