## Supplying Configuration
Configuration is stored in YAML files where the defaults are `app-config.yaml`
and `app-config.local.yaml` for local overrides. Other sets of files can by
loaded by passing `--config <path>` flags. The configuration files themselves
contain plain YAML, but with support for loading in data and secrets from
various sources using for example `$env` and `$file` keys.
and `app-config.local.yaml` for local overrides. Additionally, it is possible
to define environment based configuration files with `BACKSTAGE_ENV`
environment variable, which will load `app-config.<BACKSTAGE_ENV>.yaml`.
Loading order of these files is as follows:
1. `app-config.yaml`
2. `app-config.<BACKSTAGE_ENV>.yaml`
3. `app-config.local.yaml`
4. `app-config.<BACKSTAGE_ENV>.local.yaml`
Other sets of files can by loaded by passing `--config <path>` flags.
