### Naming environment varialbe
The environment variables in Appwrite are prefixed with `_APP_`. If it belongs to a specific cateogry, the category name is appended as `_APP_REDIS` for the redis category. The available categories are General, Redis, MariaDB, InfluxDB, StatsD, SMTP, Storage and Functions. Finally the properly describing name is given to the variable as `_APP_REDIS_HOST` for redis host. You can find more information on available categories and existing environment variables at [environment variables doc](https://appwrite.io/docs/environment-variables).
