That seems to be very different from typical a 12-factor apps setup when an app would simply read configuration and secrets from environment variables, isn’t it? Should you write a library to encapsulate this logic? Or is there an SDK available? There is a way to address all questions above with little to no code changes at all!
I’m going to demo it and then go into the nitty-gritty details of its implementation so you can repeat the same steps at home or work.
