Environment Variables
Any environment variables used in your tasks need to be added so the deployed code will run successfully.
An environment variable in Node.js is accessed in your code using process.env.MY_ENV_VAR.
We deploy your tasks and scale them up and down when they are triggered. So any environment variables you use in your tasks need to accessible to us so your code will run successfully.
