Introducing Secrets and Environment Variables to Cloudflare Workers

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced Secrets and Environment Variables for its Workers platform, aiming to make deploying and maintaining scripts a low-risk endeavor. The new features were designed based on user feedback and cover two different use cases: storing plain text variables that can be updated and encrypted variables that are hidden from view. Usability testing was conducted with developers to refine the feature before its release, and adjustments were made accordingly. Environment variables are now available in both the Wrangler CLI and Workers Dashboard.
