Best practice for API Route environment variables

See original GitHub issue

Question about Next.js

I am currently in the process for updating my app to 9. I love the initiative behind api routes. One thing that isn’t clear here is the best way to load environment variables in to the app.

Is there anything specific about Next.js I should bare in mind when setting them?

I previously had the variables loaded in to an .env file
