stagessetup

stagessetup is a Python library designed to simplify the process of setting up and managing multiple environments or "stages" for applications. It allows developers to define distinct configurations for different deployment stages, such as development, staging, and production, within a single, organized structure. The primary goal of stagessetup is to reduce the complexity and potential for errors associated with managing environment-specific settings like database credentials, API keys, and feature flags.

The library typically works by reading configuration values from various sources, such as environment variables, JSON files, or YAML files. Users define a base configuration and then override specific parameters for each stage. This approach promotes a DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle, ensuring that common configurations are defined only once. stagessetup provides tools to seamlessly switch between these configurations based on the active environment, making it easier to deploy applications consistently across different stages.

Key features often include mechanisms for validating configuration values, handling sensitive information securely, and integrating with existing deployment workflows. By abstracting away the intricacies of environment management, stagessetup aims to improve developer productivity and enhance the reliability of application deployments. It is particularly useful in scenarios where applications need to interact with different external services or possess varying operational characteristics depending on their deployment environment.
