Operations guide

How to compare configuration files safely

Config changes can alter routing, security, and runtime behavior. Treat them as operational changes.

Table of contents

Confirm format and source of truth

Generated configuration should usually be updated through its source templates.

Treat environment context as part of correctness, not an afterthought.

Validate before deployment

Redact secrets before browser workflows and rotate exposed secrets immediately.

Parse with the real consumer and perform a safe environment dry run when available.

Review checklist

  • Confirm format and ownership.
  • Redact secrets.
  • Review related settings together.
  • Validate with real consumer tooling.
