Config as Code
summary
Configuration changes, not code, cause most bad outages and treating configs as plain text creates mismatch and drift; adding Config as Code enforces structure, validation and environment-specific composition to catch errors earlier. The session demonstrates using Dhall to author, type-check and compose configs, showing a live demo that compiles reusable fragments, rejects invalid settings and reduces config-caused outages by surfacing mismatches before deploy. Practical pitfalls and workflow changes are shown.
