I am building an AWS Lambda function that uses ServiceAccountKey.json for Firebase authentication. When deploying to Netlify, I don't want to expose this data in the git repo. Is there a way I can save the whole JSON as an environmental variable?

          If I'm not wrong, you can store the json in the env var as a simple string.
          Otherwise have a look a jq which allows you to run to read a json from a file and directly store it in an env var.

            While the prior suggestion that JSON can be used as a string without carriage returns embedded might work, it can be a bit challenging to get an environment variable to contain quote characters, which all non-trivial JSON I've ever seen uses. Two different suggestions to do this differently:



            1. to create the string with a placeholder instead and during build replace the placeholders with quotes. I use the @ character in this example, so your "JSON" would look like {@type@: @service_account..., and then you could use something like this in your build:

            echo -e "$JSON_VARIABLE//@/"" > file.json && do_your_normal_build



            1. you could also create a function (documentation here: https://www.netlify.com/docs/functions/) that returns it and that would even provide a reasonable Content-Type HTTP response header if needed.
