Environment

Kazzle injects a small set of platform variables into app processes. Your own credentials come from the vault through kazzle.config.ts.

​
Process variables

PORT, HOST, and KAZZLE_API_URL are set for process components. Kazzle does not create API keys automatically for app processes; add explicit credentials only when your app actually needs them. Your process should bind to HOST:PORT. Kazzle handles preview routing and production domains on top of that.

​
Sibling component URLs

When an app has multiple components, Kazzle can inject URLs that let one component reach another: The name comes from the component’s name field: uppercased, non-alphanumeric characters become underscores. A sibling named API Server becomes KAZZLE_APP_COMPONENT_API_SERVER_URL. These URLs point to the deployed sibling when one exists. Otherwise they point to the current development address for that sibling component.

​
App credentials

App credentials reach a component through a secret collection + environment. Store the secret in the vault with the name you want as the env var key (for example KAZZLE_API_KEY), then point the component at that collection + environment:
Use KAZZLE_API_KEY for calls to Kazzle’s /ai/* endpoints from a generated app. Never expose private keys through VITE_*; those values are bundled into browser code.
