Basically, you can include additional config files in your

application.conf

by doing any variety of this:

include "overrides.conf"

include require("overrides.conf") // Throws when file can't be found

include url("<http://example.com/overrides.conf|example.com/overrides.conf>")

include "overrides" // Loads any overrides.conf, overrides.json or overrides.properties

Thanks a lot 🙂

In general, having read the HOCON specification opens up a lot of additional possibilities that aren't obvious from the little you see in the Ktor docs. It's a good read!
