How to load your config?

There is, on the one hand, the basic approach of having an .env file in your environment, where stuff like db connection keys are loaded.
On the other hand of the complexity line is having a config server that provides your config vars through an api.

Both ends are not the solution I am seeking, so is there a possible middle way for dev/test/prod environments to load?
