Hi GrowthBook team, I had a query regarding the storage of pvt keys of BigQuery. Are they stored in mongo? and If so what algorithm is used for encrypting it?

Hi Vinod, I can be stored in mongo or with env variables. We use AES encryption

btw, what would be the environment variables for BigQuery?

you can set that yourself if you are self hosting: <https://docs.growthbook.io/self-host/config#configyml>

(in that example, we use :
```password: ${POSTGRES_PW} # use env for secrets```
)

If you are self hosting, you can also use auto authentication from either GCP metadata or an env variable.
```GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/keyfile.json
```
If you do that, no credentials are stored in Mongo at all.
