Yes, **config_db set and get are passed by value**. When you use the set method to assign a value to a key in the config_db, it creates a copy of the value before storing it. Similarly, when you use the get method to retrieve a value from the config_db, it returns a copy of the stored value.<\/p>\n

The config_db set and get operations do not pass the actual reference of the value, which means any changes made to the retrieved value will not affect the original value stored in the config_db. This design decision helps in preventing unintended side effects and ensures data integrity within the config_db.<\/p>\n
