In the context of the Helix project, configuration refers to the process of updating Keycloak realm settings and utilizing the .env file.

Keycloak is an open-source identity and access management solution. A Keycloak realm is a container for a set of users, credentials, roles, and groups. It defines a circle of trust and acts as an independent entity for authentication and authorization. Updating Keycloak realm settings is an important aspect of configuring the Helix project.

The .env file is a configuration file that contains environment variables for a project.
