Why you probably don't need Spring Cloud Config
Spring cloud config is a configuration management solution and part of the Spring ecosystem. It’s easy to integrate and use, but it has severe downsides from an architectural perspective. Also, I have seen many projects where it was added just because “it is a thing” and even more often, it was used to solve or work around problems in the software architecture or deployment for which it doesn’t provide a real solution. In this blog post, I’ll point out some conceptional issues and downsides of that project I have seen so far.
