The 12 factor app states that applications should read config
from environment variables. It implies separation of code and
config. That’s about it, but there’s good bones here. I want
something bigger from this factor. Specifically that applications
may be deployed to new environments without any code changes.
This requires a few additions:
Configure the process through command options and environment
variablesPrefer explicit configuration over implicit
configuration Use a dry run option to verify config sanityFail
fast on any configuration error
