# Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
Environment specific variables like database connection details, API keys and other server configuration should be kept
|
|
outside the application code in a separate `_ss_environment.php` file. This file is stored outside the web root and
|
|
version control for security reasons.
|
|
|
|
For more information on the environment file, see the [Environment Management](../../getting_started/environment_management/)
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
Data which isn't sensitive that can be in version control but is mostly static such as constants is best suited to be
|
|
included through the [Configuration API](configuration) based on the standard environment types (dev / test / live). |
