Hey guys. Does anyone have a good way to import variables from Terraform/Cloud resources into the app-config.yaml. Specifically things like postgressql username and password.

Are you storing these things in vault? or are you just looking to reduce the duplication of having to store them in environment variables in the deployment?

We have secrets in vault, yes

You should be able to load the secrets from vault into env variables and then reference them using ${ENV_NAME} in app-config.yaml for backend config
