Triplo just released about an experimental project to share configuration recipes between Backdrop CMS sites. This could be a quick and easy way to move features between one Backdrop site to another or to download and leverage libraries of shared recipes for features like an organizational directory, a team page (content type and view), or a FAQ feature.

Here are some of the links I mention in the video:

Here is the bash command that I used in the video to help create a tarball of config files WITHOUT the parent directory:

cd bd-config/ && tar -zcvf ../bd-config.tar . && cd -

UPDATE (1/5/20): We've started work on an experimental contrib module to upload config recipes.
