Many developers watching now are most likely configuring their applications with property files that are located very tight to their applications. That’s not necessarily bad; but neither does it help when we must rebuild our applications because of a simple change in configuration; or even worse when two or more applications share the same configuration.
I have tried out Azure App Configuration. It promises to centralize the configuration of all of our applications at one place.
I will walk you through Azure App Configuration. But before I do that I want to add one more thing; a Boolean that you use to manage in your application to decide whether a new feature can be published or must be hidden is also just configuration; a feature flag is just configuration and therefore a fantastic candidate for Azure App Configuration.
