Something that’s bothering me is: Is there any way to deploy via `now` with secrets? You know: API keys or the like? `_src` is always public in the free plan and I don’t see any documentation around providing environment variables.
- paradite 11y agomy guess is that for free tier, it's targeted at demo/tutorial so environment variables wouldn't be necessary. If you are serious about privacy then you have to upgrade to paid tier. But heroku does offer environment variables to free tier and it is handy for database keys and 3rd part API keys, so I guess they will add that at some point through some user-facing web interface or just cli options.
- alanh 11y ago> so env variables would not be necessary My initial thought as well — but it’s simply not true. Let's say you want to demo something that is using Firebase on the back end. You can't just give away your credentials or your demo may get very broken very quickly… and you’ll foot the bill
