[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 <https://github.com/philnash/envyable> gem, though figaro
<https://github.com/laserlemon/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
