开发环境和AWS elastic beanstalk

Question

In my Flask application, I have config.py-file that contains database configuration and firebase configuration json that contains all secret keys etc.

How can I use different settings in my local development environment and production AWS EB environment? In local environment I connect to my local database and firebase development instance, in production I want to connect AWS RDS database and firebase production instance.

Is there any ways to change these configs on eb deploy?

Answer 1

The best way would be to use ENV variables . (To follow the 12-Factor-App )

To set ENV variables you could use eb setenv
