Configuring Errbit

Following the recommendation of 12factor.net, Errbit takes all of its configuration from environment variables. You can use dotenv, which is included in the Gemfile, to fill in any values that you can’t or won’t supply through the environment.

In order of precedence Errbit uses:

Environment variables (for example MY_VALUE=abc bundle exec puma)
Values provided in a .env file
Default values from .env.default
