I'm looking at ways to improve the way we do config management.

I know Chef is very good at managing deploy time OS and env config, however,

when it comes to app/code config it gets a bit tricky as there are various

levels of config: build vs deploy vs runtime/dynamic.

For dynamic/runtime config I'm thinking about tools like Zookeeper, but I'm

also keen on using feature toggles that have their own config (similar to

Togglz framework).

What kind of config are you changing at runtime, and how frequently? How quickly do you need the change to propagate? Is this something that requires you to restart/HUP the app, or does the app read it directly?
