@ -14,6 +14,8 @@ When dealing with configuration data, many things can just annoy and slow down:
4. some advanced configuration scenarios demand to inject configuration values via command line (vargs) or sync configuration info via a centralized cache like Redis so multiple servers will use the same configuration data.
5. the application should fail as fast as possible and provide the immediate feedback if the required environment variables are not present at start-up, this can be achieved by using [convict](https://www.npmjs.com/package/convict) to validate the configuration.
Some configuration libraries can provide most of these features for free, have a look at npm libraries like [rc](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rc), [nconf](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nconf) and [config](https://www.npmjs.com/package/config) which tick many of these requirements.
