What is the recommended way to load environment variables securely in Deno for production? #32132

In Node.js we usually rely on dotenv, but Deno has built-in permissions and different runtime behavior. What is the recommended, production-safe way to manage environment variables in Deno without weakening security? |

Deno recommends using native environment variables via Deno.env.get() and controlling access with the --allow-env permission. For local development, you can use a .env file with --env-file, but in production, environment variables should be injected by the deployment platform (Docker, systemd, CI/CD, or cloud provider), not loaded from files at runtime. |
