Configuration Manager

Its a real pain to setup all the config files. would be cool to have a tool to populate them from a central yaml file or something

This sounds amazing. Might require a private repo though?

Also, I've always wondered what the industry standard for this is. I'm sure there are some super interesting solutions here.

I mean we can create a template like we already do but just have one instead of 20 and then have a script. @bcongdon how much work can docker compose do on this?

Docker-compose can manage environments and secrets pretty well.

Relevant SO answer and docker reference.

This also kinda relates to acm-uiuc/groot-api-gateway#62, though there are some other config vars that could be standardized above-and-beyound the mysql credentials
