Application Configuration
Noun · Development
Definitions
The settings and parameters that control how an application behaves across environments, features, integrations, and runtime options. Good application configuration separates behavior from code while remaining versioned, observable, and safe to change.
In plain English: The settings that tell an application how to behave.
Example: "The outage came from bad application configuration in production, not from a bad build, because the wrong queue endpoint had been injected at deploy time."
