More flexible Environment Variables in Edge Functions and Middleware


Posted by


You now have more flexible access and improved limits for environment variables from Edge Functions and Middleware:
- The max environment variable size is now 64KB instead of 5KB, same as Serverless Functions.
- Other than the reserved names, there are no additional restrictions to name environment variables.
- Accessing
process.env
is no longer restricted to be statically analyzable. This means that, for example, you can now compute variable names such asprocess.env[`${PREFIX}_SECRET`]
.
