Boaz Poolman, a software developer from the Netherlands, has developed an open-source Strapi plugin called "config-sync" to enhance the platform's functionality, particularly in managing configuration data across different environments in large-scale projects. The plugin addresses the lack of an in-built mechanism for sharing config data by allowing developers to export and import configuration data to JSON files, facilitating better collaboration, automated deployment, and consistent test databases. While it primarily targets configuration tables created by developers, the plugin also includes a diff feature to track changes and ensure database updates. Poolman emphasizes the open-source nature of the plugin and invites collaboration from other developers, with future plans to incorporate environment-specific configurations and migrate the plugin to Typescript.
