12factor
Configuration Reload in .Net
The 12 Factor App guidelines suggest separating configuration from code as a best practice. More specifically, it should be deployed separately as well. We shouldn't have to redeploy the entire application in order to make a configuration change. Ideally, we don't want to have to restart our app either. This eliminates downtime when making configuration changes that don't otherwise require downtime such as timeout values, retry configuration, logging level, and distributed trace sampling rate.

Pragmatic Architecture. Pragmatic Microservices.
It seems the big debate lately is monolith vs microservices. Academically, each at the opposite end of the spectrum--the massive, single deployable unit monolith on one end and the highly decomposed highly distributed microservices on the other. Each come with their pros and cons and serve teams better depending on team size, skill level, and goals.
