Manage secrets

Use app environment variables for values that change between environments or should not be committed to code.

Goal

Store production configuration safely outside your source code.

When to use

Use this for database URLs, API keys, session secrets, and third-party credentials.

Common secrets

Secret	Example variable	Where it comes from
Database URL	`DATABASE_URL`	Database creation response
API key	`HYZE_API_KEY`	Dashboard or API Keys API
Session secret	`SESSION_SECRET`	Your app or auth provider
Webhook secret	`WEBHOOK_SECRET`	Third-party integration

Update app environment variables

curl -X PUT https://api.hyzecloud.com/api/apps/app_001/env \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer hyze_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "envVars": {
      "NODE_ENV": "production",
      "DATABASE_URL": "postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db"
    }
  }'

PUT /api/apps/:appId/env merges the submitted variables into the existing environment.

How it works

Hyze Cloud stores the variables with the app and injects them when the app starts. Restart the app after changing values used during startup.

Rotate an API key

Create a replacement key

curl -X POST https://api.hyzecloud.com/api/api-keys/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer hyze_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "name": "CI/CD replacement" }'

Update your systems

Replace the old key in CI/CD, internal services, or any integration that calls Hyze Cloud.

Revoke the old key

curl -X DELETE https://api.hyzecloud.com/api/api-keys/key_abc123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer hyze_your_key"

A new API key value is shown only once. Store it immediately in your secret manager.

API keys

Create, update, disable, and revoke API keys.
