Connect & .env
Open My Impulse → your project → Connect. Every bundled service contributes its credentials to a single, copyable .env:
# DatabaseDATABASE_URL=postgres://app:••••@db.my-app.impulse:5432/app
# Object storage (S3-compatible)S3_ENDPOINT=https://s3.dfw.impulseS3_ACCESS_KEY=AKIA••••••••S3_SECRET_KEY=••••••••••••
# Cache (Redis-compatible)REDIS_URL=rediss://default:••••@cache.my-app.impulse
# AuthAUTH_URL=https://auth.my-app.impulseAUTH_ANON_KEY=eyJhbGci••••Values stay masked in the dashboard until you reveal them; rotate any credential from the service’s page and the Connect tab updates immediately.
Framework wiring
Section titled “Framework wiring”- Next.js / Node —
process.env.DATABASE_URLwithpg,postgres, or Prisma; any S3 SDK againstS3_ENDPOINT. - Laravel — map to
DB_*,AWS_*(S3-compatible),REDIS_URLinconfig/. - Django / Rails — standard database-URL parsing;
boto3/aws-sdkwith a custom endpoint.
Every value uses open protocols, so no Impulse-specific client library is ever required.
