Hey folks 👋 Looking at prefect and I have a (user) config related question. We have config library at our place that loads config based on execution environment (dev/stage/prod) etc. and merges it all into a dict. It's something that's familiar and liked by our developers, so having to use a different way to configure prefect is seen as less than ideal. I see that the location of user config is configurable (pun not intended 😉) via an environment variable. It would be great if there was an option to provide user config as a dictionary, which prefect would then merge with it's defaults and environment variables. Is something like this possible and I missed it? If not is there a reason why it couldn't be done? Cheers

Hey @Dali, I think this thread is relevant to what you bring up. In short, we can’t do this especially if the config is a nested dictionary. I have seen people use parameters to supply the config. At that point, it’s pretty much the same as your solution.
