Configu

Platform

Configu is an **open-source, end-to-end ConfigOps infrastructure** that empowers engineering teams to seamlessly manage and collaborate on **software configuration data**—such as environment variables, secrets, and feature flags—across any system or environment. ⚙️✨

Overview

Use Cases

Configu emerges in the landscape of configuration management as a **purpose-built solution**, designed to address and overcome the limitations commonly faced with traditional and contemporary approaches. Here's a detailed comparison that showcases why Configu is the preferred choice for developers, DevOps, SREs, and platform engineers.

Comparison

Gain a solid understanding of the foundational elements that drive Configu's configuration management system. This page provides a short overview of key concepts to help you navigate and utilize Configu effectively.

Concepts

Configu is designed to revolutionize the way software configurations are managed, integrating seamlessly into the software development lifecycle. Its architecture and workflow are meticulously crafted to support and enhance configuration management, making it a critical component of modern software development practices. Let's delve into the intricacies of how Configu operates, from its architectural foundation to its comprehensive workflow.

Workflow

Configu Orchestrator (open-source)

The `Cfgu` format defines the characteristics of a software configuration in Configu, providing metadata and constraints for `ConfigValues`. When attached to a `ConfigKey` in a `ConfigSchema`, it enables validation of `ConfigValues`, facilitating their implementation in the code.

.cfgu

Configu Configuration-as-Code Format

The `.configu` file is an optional configuration file used by the various Configu interfaces to customize its behavior. The file should be named `.configu` regardless of the format used: JSON or YAML.
