You could create a simple object (somewhere in yer /lib) that contains all
of the hard-coded configuration values and cache it using the built in
memory cache of rails:
Rails.cache.write('key', myobj)
The object can then be retrieved using:
Rails.cache.read('key')
The default cache store, ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore, is not shared
between rails server processes so the object will be cached in memory for
each instance of rails you have running. This probably isn't that big of an
issue, if but you want to change your caching strategy you can modify the
config.cache_store to tell rails to use a different type of caching.
Apparently not all types of caching support object caching, but MemoryStore
does.
