Introduction

When Secret Config starts up it reads all configuration entries into memory for all keys under the configured path. This means that once Secret Config has initialized all calls to Secret Config are extremely fast.

The in-memory copy of the registry can be refreshed at any time by calling SecretConfig.refresh!. It can be refreshed via a process signal, or by calling it through an event, or via a messaging system.

It is suggested that any programmatic lookup to values stored in Secret Config are called every time a value is being used, rather than creating a local copy of the value. This ensures that a refresh of the registry will take effect immediately for any code reading from Secret Config.
