Interesting article as I haven't gone down this path.
I tend to favor YAML files for configuration, and symlink them in the case of security concerns like private keys.
To roll up a standard access pattern in our app which has dozens of configuration files, I wrote this which allows local developer overrides via xxx_local.yml:

I'll probably gemify it at some point.

- dasil003 14y agoI think the reason it hasn't become more of an issue for me is that I use more Engine Yard and VPS than Heroku.
