For services designed to hold non-persistent data, such as Redis or Solr, it’s generally not necessary to download data as it can be rebuilt from the primary data store. For services designed to hold persistent data, see each service’s page for instructions:4. Get environment variables
Environment variables can contain critical information such as tokens or additional configuration options for your app. Environment variables can have different prefixes:- Variables beginning with
