SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
As mentioned, a big point of using the recommended approach is to keep your environment variables in sync across your team. Oftentimes, new environment variables get introduced to a codebase and .env files don’t get updated across the team; as a result, applications crash. The issue compounds when your infrastructure gets big and a problem known as “secret sprawl” emerges. As such, Infisical provides you the ability to centralize your environment variables so you can update them in one place and have them delivered back to your team and infrastructure from development to production. This is different from what a lot of people do which is directly store dozens of environment variables in .env files.
To ensure optimal performance, I’d recommend creating a single instance of the Infisical client and exporting it to be used across your entire app. The reason is because the Node SDK caches every secret and updates it periodically, reducing excessive calls; this built-in caching makes syncing environment variables seamless at scale.
