Config Store

Definitions

1. A service or system used to store and distribute configuration values to applications, often with versioning, access control, and runtime update support. Config stores are useful in distributed systems where many services need centrally managed, environment-specific settings.

   In plain English: A system that stores and serves configuration values to applications.

   Example: "The platform moved feature toggles and service endpoints into a config store so runtime changes no longer required rebuilding and redeploying every consumer."
