Disagree, partially.

Buy-into storing credentials into environment variables.

Then, and this is important - MANAGE YOUR ENVIRONMENTS.

You shouldn't have prod level s3, or aws creds accessible openly in your environment. If someone can steal those values, they can steal the code, and pretty much everything else. This is very bad.

For prod (and possibly staging), use a lib that loads in values securely from an actual secrets service.
