Environment variables API reference

Environment variables are a crucial aspect of software development and deployment. They are used to store sensitive information or configuration settings that shouldn’t be hardcoded into the codebase.

They offer some key benefits:

  • Security

  • Configuration flexibility

  • Portability

  • Collaboration

  • Version control

  • Compliance

The environment variables can be managed through the Azion API and used inside functions by calling the Azion.env.get() interface.
