EasyHost
Build-time vs runtime environment variables
Build-time variables are read while your app compiles, and their values get baked into the output.
The short version
Build-time variables are read while your app compiles, and their values get baked into the output. Runtime variables are read each time the server runs. Frameworks inline public variables, such as NEXT_PUBLIC_ ones, at build time, so changing them requires a rebuild. Never put secrets in a public variable, because they end up in browser code.
On EasyHost
EasyHost passes your variables to both the build and the running container. Learn more.
