Environment variables that are specific to Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure use the MAGENTO_CLOUD_* prefix:

Variable Description

MAGENTO_CLOUD_APPLICATION A base64-encoded JSON object that describes the application. It maps to the .magento.app.yaml file content and has subkeys.

MAGENTO_CLOUD_DOCUMENT_ROOT The absolute path to the web document root, if applicable.

Each relationship endpoint definition is a decomposed form of a URL. It has a scheme, a host, a port, and optionally a username, password, path, and some additional information in query.

WARNING

To add environment variables to override configuration settings using the Project Web Interface, you must prepend the variable name with env: as in the following example:

Environment variable example

Since values can change over time, it is best to inspect the variable at runtime and use it to configure your application. For example, use the MAGENTO_CLOUD_RELATIONSHIPS variable to retrieve environment-related relationships as follows:

<?php
/**
  * Get relationships information from cloud environment variable.
  *
  * @return mixed
  */
    protected function getRelationships()
    {
        return json_decode(base64_decode($_ENV["MAGENTO_CLOUD_RELATIONSHIPS"]), true);
    }

Viewing environment variables

You can use the env:config:show command from the ece-tools package to show a list of variables for the current environment.

php ./vendor/bin/ece-tools env:config:show variables
