Central Dogma – highly-available version-controlled config repository

In plain words

Central Dogma is an open-source configuration management system built on Git, ZooKeeper, and HTTP/2. It stores configuration files in a centralized, version-controlled repository with multi-master replication. Users can retrieve settings via REST API, Java library, or command-line tools, and servers receive immediate notifications of updates without requiring restarts. The system supports pull requests for configuration changes with review workflows, making it suitable for teams managing distributed service configurations.

  Hi HN, this is Peleg from Configu. We have open-sourced Configu (https://github.com/configu/configu).

  Finally open sourced an internal tool we've been using for managing secrets. It's similar to SOPS, but more opinionated, easier to configure/use correctly, and produces nicer git diffs. It also supports one-way encryption, so you don't have to know the private key to add secrets.
