Was the glitch in the YAML structure itself (which normally would throw a
parse exception and the app won't start), or was it a glitch in a value
(value is "\sabc" vs "abc")? The latter is almost impossible to solve,
considering that it hosts a wide variety of values, from API keys to your
own secrets.

The way I deal with it is to try and figure out which values are just too
important for the app, say a cache host credentials, then attempt a start
of that service in an initializer, aborting the start the entire
application of no values are found in the secrets file.
