Application Secrets

The Secrets section allows you to securely manage environment variables used by your application.

Secrets are typically used to store sensitive information such as:

  • API keys
  • Database credentials
  • Authentication tokens
  • Configuration values

These variables are injected into the application environment during runtime.

Global Variables​

The Global Variables section allows you to manage environment variables for your application.

Secrets Global Variables Dashboard

From this page you can:

  • Create new environment variables
  • Export variables as a .env file
  • Refresh the variable list

Global variables help maintain configuration values that can be accessed by the application during execution.

Creating a Global Variable​

To add a new secret or environment variable, click Create Global Variable.

Create Global Variable Dialog

You will need to provide the following details:

Name​

A unique identifier for the variable.

Example:

my-variable

Allowed characters include:

  • lowercase letters
  • numbers
  • dots
  • hyphens

Organization​

Select the organization where the variable will be stored.

This ensures proper access control and management across projects.

Key​

The key represents the environment variable name that will be available inside the application.

Example:

MY_VARIABLE

Allowed characters include:

  • uppercase letters
  • numbers
  • underscores

Value​

The value is the actual data stored in the variable.

Example:

my_secret_value

This value will be securely injected into the application runtime environment.

Why Use Secrets​

Using secrets provides several advantages:

  • Secure storage of sensitive data
  • Centralized configuration management
  • Separation of code and configuration
  • Improved security practices

Applications can safely access required credentials without exposing them in the source code.
