Ranvier

Ranvier (named after the French neurophysiologist), is a system for managing all of your application's config in a centralized, transparent, and fault-tolerant way. It consists of

• A Git repository
• A "Node of Ranvier" server which will poll the specified Git repository
• A Ranvier client which will maintain the configuration within your application

Setup

1. Create a Git repo with your JSON config schema files.
   • See the example repo for a simple example.
2. Setup the Ranvier server to point at your created Git repo.
3. Connect to your Ranvier server with one of the clients. Currently supported clients are
   • Go
