user story

As a deployment guy I want to inject/set an environment variable so that it is accessible from within the application

Rational

Most applications that require a API_KEY or TOKEN do read this information from env vars, so that the secrets must not be stored in any file. We need to find a specification that will inject env vars into the application context/environment.
