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

[Siddharth Sharma]

Rails 4.1 has secrets.yml
http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/4_1_release_notes.html

For lower versions of Rails, I've been using figaro for years with no
problems. I like to never have my production environment variables anywhere
near my development environment, so I actually prefer not having an easy
way to set heroku configs, etc.
