SDK question: best way to structure app configuration schema? - Mina - 04-25-2026

I am building my first OrbitOS app and I want to keep configuration future-proof.

Do you recommend:
- versioned config schema
- strict validation at startup
- migration hooks between schema versions

Any reference implementation from the team?

Great question. Yes, we recommend exactly that pattern: versioned schema, strict startup validation, and explicit migration steps.

We are preparing an SDK sample that includes schema migration and rollback-safe defaults.
