Deep Dive into Qovery's Environment Variables and Secrets Management

Qovery's environment variable and secret management system offers a unified interface for securely creating, importing, and managing environment variables and secrets, with a focus on encryption and secure storage on your cloud account's Kubernetes secret manager. The system supports importing .env files, a powerful inheritance system for varying environments, and automatic injection of built-in environment variables such as Git Commit IDs. It also allows for the creation of aliases and interpolation, enabling variable names based on other values, and supports importing variables as files for easier configuration management. Qovery is enhancing its security features by integrating with Doppler, a cloud-native secrets manager, to provide even greater security and usability. This integration aims to give users added peace of mind by ensuring their sensitive data is well-protected, making Qovery a valuable tool for engineering teams looking to streamline their application deployment process while maintaining robust security.
