Type-safe, provider-agnostic configuration API eliminates scattered parsing logic by enforcing a single read pattern across multiple sources with clear precedence.
Summary
Removes coupling between application code and configuration sources, letting libraries accept config without dictating where it comes from. Enables hot-reload, secret redaction, and access logging without refactoring existing read calls.

Implementation verdict
Replaces ad-hoc env/file/arg parsing scattered across your codebase. Requires adding swift-configuration package and refactoring config access to use ConfigReader. Production-ready now—40+ PRs merged since October, API stable at 1.0. Worth adopting immediately for server apps and CLI tools.
