## What it is
A Ruby gem that adds multi-environment YAML-based settings management to Rails, Sinatra, Padrino, and other Ruby projects. It supports ERB in config files, environment inheritance, nested settings access via object member notation, and local developer overrides.

## Use cases
- manage environment-specific settings in a Rails app
- load YAML configuration files with per-environment overrides
- access app settings via nested object notation in Ruby
- support local developer config files that are gitignored
- use ERB inside configuration YAML files
- share configuration management across Sinatra and Padrino apps

## When to choose
- you need hierarchical, environment-aware YAML settings in a Ruby or Rails project
- you want a battle-tested gem with Rails generators and framework integrations
- you need ERB templating and local override files for settings

## When to avoid
- you need configuration for non-Ruby projects
- you prefer environment variables only or a secrets manager like Vault
- you need dynamic or database-backed configuration rather than static YAML files

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: configuration-management
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, backend
- platform: ruby, jvm, cli
- tags: yaml-settings, multi-environment, rails, sinatra, padrino, environment-variables, settings
