Are you using releases on Heroku as well?

I thought config/*.exs is buildtime only configuration. In other words, once the release is built, those configurations are “frozen”.
I was suggesting some config files in the style of Mix.Config (you know, with that nice sexy DSL) that are evaluated at runtime and merged into the application’s configuration at time of the application startup (right before all applications are started).
Does that make sense or am I completely not understand something?

You just described how mix config works. It loads all the configs when starting up, before starting any application.
The problem with releases is that mix is no longer there, so it can’t load config when applications start (as it does normally), but the config is serialised when a release is built and later, loaded from the serialised format.
