Exploring Xano Environment Variables and Middleware with Evan Joyal

Recording of a great co-working session I had today with

where we went through Xano Environmental Variables and Middleware! I am experimenting with editing and sharing recordings, if you like this type of content and would like to see more let me know!

In this video, we discussed solutions for managing environment variables using Xano expressions, created functions, and tackled the challenges of continuous deployment. We also explored the concept of middleware in pre and post API call contexts, debugging environment variables, and ensuring secure and efficient deployment strategies. This video will be beneficial for anyone who is using Xano and would like to explore strategies for managing deployment processes.
