Making Connection Strings Easier to Understand
At work, I noticed that our connection strings—the pieces of information apps use to connect to databases and other services—were confusing and inconsistent. Each one was named differently, which made it hard to tell what they were for.

This was especially difficult when switching between environments like testing and live production. To solve this, I introduced a simple naming pattern that helps anyone understand what a connection string is for just by reading its name.

The format includes the company name, the environment (like development or production), the service it connects to (like payments or login), the region (if needed), and the type of connection (like database or cache).

Using this format brought a lot more clarity. Now, instead of guessing, team members can immediately understand what each connection string does. It also reduced the chances of making mistakes and made it easier to manage our systems as they grow. This small change made a big difference. It improved teamwork, saved time, and made our setup cleaner and more organized. It showed me how something as simple as naming things properly can have a powerful impact on how smoothly a team works.

The Result
Now, it's easier for the team to understand and manage connection strings. We save time, avoid mistakes, and have a more organized system for setting up and deploying services.

What I did
I created a clear and simple way to name connection strings. The idea was to make it easy for anyone to know what the connection string is for just by reading its name. I used a pattern that includes the company name, the environment, the service, the region, and the type of connection.
