Our hodgepodge of microservices- developed over more than a decade- never got coordinated env variables, so now we've got to go through like ~50 services & libraries, one by one, updating secrets. Yuck.
If you do your shit right, you can just dump most of your secrets into some Contexts- containers of env variables- and apply them. Then when this stuff roles around, it's easy to update everything centrally; change the context & everyone sees it. We, alas, can't easily do that, since we have so many differing env var names. New Year, new fun!
