Just-in-time configuration (JIT configuration) is a concept in which the configuration of an application or system is performed only when it is actually needed, rather than loaded in advance. This can improve performance and make systems easier to manage because only the necessary configurations are loaded when they are needed. An example of JIT configuration is a web server that automatically updates its configuration file when new web sites are added or removed, without having to restart the server. This enables a flexible and dynamic configuration of applications and systems.
