For me, I have a few points: 1. Single source of truth for your configuration 2. Human-readable configuration 3. Ability to set default values for keys that might not have been set.

Another argument for is that you don’t need to recompile your project to change some settings.

Unfortunately, there is no such feature in Ktor.

I would be AWESOME if Ktor will make a feature with switching profiles 🙂
