### Figgy 1.0 is out!
Figgy is a **_free_** and **_opensource_** serverless application config framework designed to bring simplicity, security, and resilience to
application config management. Figgy is built on top of AWS ParameterStore and leverages native AWS constructs such as AWS IAM,
KMS, among other services to ensure a simple and elegant integration with your AWS environment.
<br/>
> **Never roll another application to production having forgotten to set that last pesky
config in production.**
Figgy makes it possible to **bind your code directly to configurations**. Easily break builds if configs
are missing and application deployments are destined to fail.
> **Control user access like a champ**
Figgy makes it easy to set up and control access to across all of your AWS environments and configuration namespaces. Consider
your role types and use cases, map them up in a simple config file, and let Figgy do the rest. Audit all user activity and
changes over time, and roll back any config or group of configurations to any point-in-time -- to the second!
> **Integrate with your SSO provider, abandon long-lived AWS Keys for good**
Figgy supports SAML based SSO integrations with multi-factor authentication. Simplify AWS access control with Figgy!
> **Feature rich CLI to speed-up your development workflow.**
<br/>
**Figgy will help you:**
- Establish secure best practices from the start
- Prevent failed deployments and application downtime due to configuration mismanagement
- Save you time by automating simple configuration management tasks
- Give you peace of mind through high availability and resiliency, versioned configurations, audit logs, and easy rollbacks or restores.
- Keep secrets with their owners by cutting out the middle-man and establishing a strong framework of least-privilege.
- Avoid 3rd party lock-in or external dependencies -- Figgy deploys serverlessly into your AWS environments
- Keep your configuration store tidy. No more unused or stray configurations causing ongoing confusion.
## Why Figgy?
#### Simple & secure config and secret management
As your cloud footprint grows, so do the configurations you need to manage your applications.
Figgy is a framework for simple, secure, and resilient config management in AWS. The best part? No new servers to
deploy, upgrade, and patch. No complex software to learn. Follow Figgy’s laid-out path for config management.
It’s AWS native, compatible with all AWS services, and follows AWS best practices. Let Figgy help you get it right from the start.

#### Prevent downtime due to config mismanagement
Figgy provides a suite of utilities that link your code to your configs.
Detect and remedy misconfigurations before deployment rather than scrambling after the alarm bells are going off.
---
#### Let the secret owners own the secrets
Figgy establishes a framework for teams of secret owners to securely track, manage, and rotate their secrets in their
team’s secure space. From that space they can share secrets directly with the applications that need them --
without going through a middle-man. No more LastPass, one-time urls, secrets sent over Slack, email, encrypted files,
or any of those annoying secret management hoops. In a few weeks, when your coworker "Bill" finds new employment,
don’t ask yourself, "What secrets passed through Bill that we need to rotate now?"

#### Easily manage and maintain least privilege
Figgy makes it easy to give both users and applications the exact amount of access they need and nothing more, and provides
a framework for scalably maintaining and enforcing least privilege. By following Figgy best
practices you can easily maintain appropriate access for users and services while keeping your IAM policies short and sweet.
---
#### Maximum visibility & resiliency
Figgy maintains a history of every event that has ever occurred in your configuration store since the day you
installed Figgy. Know what happened, where, when, and by who. Then, roll back any configuration,
or hierarchy of configurations, to any point-in-time in the past, to the second.
