"12 factor" anything seems to be a symptom of the over-complexity of modern apps, go back and rethink.

  i found the original 12 factor website had a number of pretty reasonable suggestions based on experience of people who ran a business doing operations for other people's web apps. sure, web apps are themselves probably over complicated, but given that you're doing a web app, the recommendations arent bad. compare to where things have gone since, with containerisation.

    In a lot of ways the "12 factors" have overly simplistic views of the world. For instance, storing your config in the environment is fantastic -- until you remember a great many frameworks will dump their environment to the browser in a number of failure scenarios. There go all your secrets.
