Subject: [LRUG] How do you manage secrets in Rails apps? 

Hi LRUG,

I've been thinking a lot recently about application secrets like API or database credentials and how they are stored in different environments for Rails apps. I was hoping that you lovely LRUG member could share how you deal with this yourself.

Currently I only tend to deploy apps to Heroku, so I use environment variables throughout the app, loaded in development/test environments with the envyable gem, though figaro would do the same job.

So, what I'm asking is, if you use environment variables for config in your applications how do you load them in both development and production environments?

Thanks,

Phil
