Introducing Konfig: A Kubernetes Friendly Rails Configuration Gem

Konfig is a new open-source project created and maintained by Cloud 66. In a nutshell, Konfig is a Kubernetes friendly Rails configuration gem.What does that mean? While Rails applications typically read YAML files to load their configurations, Kubernetes is instead good at serving individual configuration values as mounted files via Kubernetes Secrets (assuming of course we don't want to have your secrets in your git repository). We therefore want a configuration system that can read the configuration file from a YAML file (for development environments) or construct configurations from individual files while running in Kubernetes (or production environments) and present the same configuration interface to your application regardless.
