# Default Configuration

By default, ShipWithDjango is configured to use the `env` secrets manager, which reads secrets from the `.env` file located in the root of your project. While this approach works for development and testing, it's recommended to switch to one of the external providers listed above for production environments to enhance security.

You can find the config file at `CONFIG/secrets.py`

```python
SECRETS_MANAGER = 'env'  # Default secrets manager
```
