Environment variables

3 min read

Per-project key/value pairs, encrypted at rest, injected at deploy time.

Adding variables

Set environment variables either during project creation (step 3) or anytime after from the project's Settings → Environment Variables tab.

How they're stored

Values are encrypted before being written to the database, and only decrypted when needed — when shown back to you in the dashboard, or when injected into your app's environment at deploy/runtime.

When changes take effect

Changing an environment variable doesn't restart a running deployment automatically. Trigger a redeploy so the new values are picked up.
