Moving our apps from Heroku to App Engine has been great, but there are a few things that we miss. In particular, having a way to define config variables <https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars> in Cloud Console would be great. We have tried a couple of approaches but none are optimal:
- Place config within env_variables <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/flexible/nodejs/configuring-your-app-with-app-yaml#Node.js_app_yaml_Defining_environment_variables> in the app.yaml file. Not ideal to store secrets since anyone deploying the app has access to the app.yaml and those secrets. - Place config in Cloud Storage. Hard to edit, prone to errors (e.g. breaking the JSON file that might contain them) and it doesn't trigger an app restart with the updated config (I believe Heroku restarts the app every time you change a config variable). Are there any ideas on implementing a similar feature in App Engine? Is there a better way of currently handling those config vars?
