At the beginning of this recipe, I wrote about storing your configuration in the environment. The industry standard way to do this is by creating a file called .env that contains said config in the form of key-value-pairs, and loading it into the process at some point during the build. One easy way to do this in Rust is by using the dotenv (https://crates.io/crates/dotenv) third-party crate.
