Centralized hierarchical configuration system for applications in a distributed network

Abstract:

Systems are provided for configuring applications in a distributed environment to enable more granular customization of application behavior. A centralized hierarchical configuration data store may be used to store configurations corresponding to a multi-level hierarchical model. The distributed environment may include a plurality of applications hosted by a plurality of application servers, where the application servers and/or applications are associated with an environment, an instance, and a category. The plurality of applications may load and apply configurations via a configuration control engine from the centralized hierarchical configuration data store based on the environment, instance, and category associated with the applications.
