About:
confd is a lightweight configuration management tool that uses templates and data from a backend store like etcd or Consul to generate and manage configuration files. It monitors for changes in the backend and can reload applications to apply new configurations dynamically. This provides a robust way to manage application configs in containerized and distributed environments.
Key Features:
  • Template-based configuration generation
  • Supports multiple backends (etcd, Consul, env vars)
  • File watching and application reloading
  • Lightweight and dependency-free binary
Use Cases:
  • Managing dynamic configuration for containerized applications
  • Centralizing configuration for distributed systems
  • Automating config updates without application restarts
Alternatives:
  • consul-template – Similar functionality but tightly coupled with HashiCorp Consul
  • envsubst – Simpler, single-purpose tool for environment variable substitution
