Hey, This is nice. Asking this out of curiosity. Are you maintaining any app server which serves the configuration or you are using any lambda function which will return the configuration?

We run a Nuxt app on a server cause we need SSR for authentication. This way, I can use the serverMiddleware Nuxt provides. This is basically the node process the Nuxt app itself is running on, so no need for an additional server, pretty nice. Nuxt docs

The config is not that fancy, just some values for colors, some translation strings, and some image paths. I "hard code" this as an object directly in my endpoint in the serverMiddleware. If this scales, like more complexity or more companies (now only 3), I will maybe externalize the config, but for now, this is perfectly fine.
