FAQPage Schema
How do I manage environment variables and secrets for application deployment?▼

You can manage environment variables and secrets by viewing, setting, and deleting them across shared, development, and production scopes. This allows you to configure environment-specific variables like a production PORT securely during deployment.

What is the best way to securely request API keys and tokens from users?▼

Securely requesting API keys and tokens involves prompting the user for sensitive information through dedicated secret request operations. This ensures sensitive user-provided secrets are collected safely without hardcoding them into the configuration.

Can I set environment-specific configuration for development and production scopes?▼

Yes, you can configure environment-specific variables across distinct development, production, and shared scopes. This allows you to isolate configuration data and manage variables based on the target deployment environment.

How do I view existing environment variables before updating my application configuration?▼

You can inspect existing environment variables and secrets by executing an explicit view operation. This allows you to verify current configuration data across shared, development, and production scopes before making changes.

How do I delete obsolete environment variables during a secrets management cleanup?▼

Deleting obsolete environment variables requires an explicit delete function call targeting the specific variable. This removes unnecessary or outdated configuration data from your shared, development, or production scopes.
