App-Level Isolation in Web Server Config
clace.ioWeb server config which is a blob of text is a pet peeve of mine. This makes every config update risky and simultaneous updates by multiple users is difficult to coordinate.
This presents an alternate approach for handling web server config, providing app-level isolation.
IIS has been doing this for eons. A single machine config which only an administrator would touch, likely through CLI or GUI tools, and from there on out each application/website can have it's own web.config which the developer can manipulate as required.
Yes, it would be great if this approach becomes more common for web servers.
Since Clace is built for internal tools, even new app installation can be done by regular users. If the namespace is available, a new app can use that without conflicting with other apps.
