ConfigService

ConfigService is the key to Java Auto-Update functionality.

ConfigService Responsibility:

1. Master for ConfigService provisioned clients data model
   1. Consisting of ConfigService - controlled application configuration data model
   2. Content management: Old ConfigService API documentation - ServiceConfigResource endpoint
2. Old ConfigService API documentation - ClientConfigResource endpoint to support updating client configuration (incl. application version)
   1. CRUD operations of ConfigService - controlled application configuration data model
3. Application monitoring (not implemented yet)
   1. dashboard/status view - how many clients for each application, which application version, what configuration, lastSeen
   2. Heartbeat (use checkForUpdates to store lastSeen for each client)
   3. envInfo - persist environment info from the client to support debugging when something goes wrong

There is a configservice-sdk library available to make it easier for Java clients to use ConfigService.
