How do you suppose I do this in AWS where I have several auto-balanced servers? It kind of forces you to put it in environment variables.

Why is that? Isn't that exactly the same problem whether you're using environment variables or a config file?

Because all the instances spin up with a fresh file system, but you can specify the environment variables in the AWS console.
