Cool! Java is coming soon for Config.ly. I think we view having many client libraries as an advantage over something like Spring Cloud Config that I believe only has Java implementation / HTTP -- since many folks have clients in several languages. I could be wrong, but I also don't think Spring Cloud Config has a fancy web UI with version history nor caching (so you can let PMs update copy instead of interrupting developers!). The hope is that these and more features for Config.ly along with the fast integration will make it a no-brainer over rolling your own implementation as many folks do today.

  By default Spring Cloud Config uses git repositories as its backing store, so version history is more or less handled. You can also use file systems, Vault, JDBC, Redis, AWS S3 and CredHub as backends out of the box[0]. You can also mix and match backends, so that (say) regular config goes into Git and secrets go into Vault or CredHub. It ought to be straightforward to add Config.ly as a backend, which would give you a pathway into a very large developer population (both Java+Spring and .NET via Steeltoe[1]). For GUI cases, Spring Cloud Azure[2] adds Azure App Configuration[3] as another backend. Disclosure: I work for VMware, which sponsors Spring development, but not on Spring.

    Thank you - building a backend is a great idea. We’ll look into it.
