Environment Variables

Description: The "Environment Variables" field allows users to define custom environment variables that will be available to the deployed application or service during runtime. Environment variables are key-value pairs that store configuration settings, credentials, or other runtime parameters required by the application.

Usage: Enter the environment variables and their corresponding values that you want to configure for the deployment. These variables will be accessible to the deployed application at runtime, allowing you to customize its behavior, configuration, and interaction with the surrounding environment.

Example:

Variable Name: DATABASE_URL
Value: mysql://username:password@hostname:port/database_name

Guidelines:

  • Use descriptive variable names that clearly indicate their purpose or functionality within the application.

  • Avoid hardcoding sensitive information such as credentials or API keys directly into the application code, and instead use environment variables to securely manage and access these values.

  • Follow best practices for handling sensitive data, such as encrypting sensitive environment variables or using secure storage solutions.
