Problems with Environment Variables
1 points by bhavikchavda 655 days ago
I started thinking that the purpose of environment variables is lost or changed. I saw it's getting used for, - Enabling/Disabling functionality - Storing credentials - System defaults etc.

The main problems with environment variables are, - Hard to maintain (familiar with secret management tools) - Updated only on startup or compile of application

Do you guys also face these problems?
