Hiding inside your configuration files are latent errors waiting to take down your app in a series of cascading failures. Let’s take a look at the academic paper which made that claim and the authors’ suggestion for how to avoid those problems. Then we’ll look at how we can use PureConfig and Refined to automate those safer practices. Finally we’ll survey the field, comparing these tools with similar libraries.
