Avoid the Burden of Managing Multiple Configuration Files Across Environments - Use PSD1 Files in a Dynamic Way
Have you ever experienced outages because you updated the configuration file for your development environment but forgot to do the same for production? Do you find it frustrating to maintain multiple configuration files for different environments?
