Config Schema
Noun · Development
Definitions
A formal definition of the expected structure, types, and constraints of configuration values. Config schemas are used to validate settings early, document available options, and prevent runtime failures caused by missing or malformed configuration.
In plain English: A formal definition of what configuration values are allowed and required.
Example: "The release became safer once the service enforced a config schema at startup instead of failing later on a missing nested property in production."
