I've been trying different ways to manage and keep track of environment variables, like using .env file, AWS Parameter Store, Spring Cloud Config and k8s ConfigMaps. But I keep running into issues like:
- Forgetting to add env variables in different environments (Staging/Production)
- Not knowing if we still need certain env variables
- Unsure if the right env variable is being used inside the process or if it got mixed up
- Old containers might still use old values
How do you guys handle your environment variables? Any problems you've faced? Would love to hear some tips or stories!
Thanks!
