Figaro
Simple, Heroku-friendly Rails app configuration using ENV and a single YAML file.
What is Figaro?
Figaro is a configuration management library for Ruby on Rails applications that securely handles environment variables. It simplifies app configuration by loading values from a single YAML file into ENV, following the Twelve-Factor App methodology to keep sensitive data out of version control.
Ruby on Rails developers who need a secure and consistent way to manage environment-specific configuration, particularly those deploying to Heroku or adhering to Twelve-Factor App principles.
Developers choose Figaro for its Rails-focused conventions, security-first approach that encourages keeping configuration out of Git, and tools like environment-specific YAML support and deployment helpers for Heroku.
