It would be very handy if FME (Desktop and Server) had a mechanism for storing key/value paris in an external database, similar to the database connections introduced in FME 2016.
These key/value pairs could be used to store local workspace settings, similar to this post.
The idea would be to define a list of key/value pairs on Desktop and then upload it as a resource to FME Server, where it would contain settings for each server instance (e.g. development, staging, production, etc).
It should be very easy to retrieve these settings inside the workspace, e.g. as a type of parameter.
This would enable workspaces to retrieve an external configuration and not being dependent on hardcoded settings or python scripting.
