I would love for someone to eviscerate the following idea:
Every deployed process receives exactly 3 environment variables, NONCE, TAGS and CONFIG_DB_PARAMS. Every process is bootstrapped in the same way:
1. Initialize config db client.
2. config = db.fetchConfig(tags)
3. Use NONCE to signal config changes if needed.
Of course there's some environments where this Just Won't Work. I'm wondering if there are some very serious issues with this approach in a "standard" web application environment. It seems so straightforward but I've literally never seen it done before, so I feel like I'm missing something.
