• PLAID_CLIENT_ID= (See https://dashboard.plaid.com/overview/development)
• PLAID_PUBLIC_KEY=
• PLAID_SECRET_development=
• PLAID_SECRET_sandbox=
• JWT_SECRET= (Password chosen by developer)
• TIINGO_API_KEY= (Optional. For market data. See https://api.tiingo.com/)
• DB_NAME= (Use local db connection params or see DigitalOcean app dashboard)
• DB_USER=
• DB_PASS=
• DB_HOST=
• DB_PORT=
• APP_PORT=8880
