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 as process.env[`${PREFIX}_SECRET`].

Check out the documentation to learn more.
