Configu – OSS project that puts an end to your configuration headaches

Hi HN, this is Peleg from Configu. We have open-sourced Configu (https://github.com/configu/configu). It’s a simple yet powerful tool designed to manage application configurations (env vars, secrets, feature flags, and more) at scale across environments – from code to runtime – by providing configuration orchestration along with a Configuration-as-Code (CaC) approach. You can easily sync and connect it to any configuration store you use (files in git repo, secret managers, feature flags, databases, etc.) and Configu Orchestrator provides a unified interface that rules…

Configu – OSS project that puts an end to your configuration headaches launched on June 22, 2023 with 51 votes, #1,474 of 4,655 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

Configu is an open-source tool that manages application configurations including environment variables, secrets, and feature flags across multiple environments. It uses a Configuration-as-Code approach and provides a unified interface to connect with various configuration stores like git repositories, secret managers, and databases. Designed for developers, Configu automates configuration deployment throughout the software development lifecycle, reducing manual work and errors by ensuring consistent settings across environments.

    Last month, we open-sourced Infisical (https://github.com/Infisical/infisical) - a simple, end-to-end encrypted tool to sync environment variables across your team and infrastructure. You can use it to store environment variables and inject them into your applications locally or into CI/CD and production infrastructure. It can be used with any language/framework and is platform independent with a super easy setup. We know secret managers exist but, in our experience, they’re too complicated, not comprehensive, not user-friendly, or a mix of all three — other…

    Hey all, I'm the founder of Flipt, an open-source (https://github.com/flipt-io/flipt) feature flag tool that I (and others) have been working on for the past few years. About a year or two ago we added support for serving flag state from various non-relational declarative stores like Git, OCI, Object Store, etc. Many of our users came to love the git-backed storage, as it allows them to keep their feature flags close to their code in there organization's repos. But they had one (rather large) ask, and that was the ability to use the UI to manage flag state changes and…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
