You may notice that the values are surrounded in an escape sequence (`${}`). This is how CommandBox injects environment variables into your `box.json` file. Why environment variables? Because you don't want to commit your database credentials in to source control. Also, you want to be able to have different values in different environments. Whether you have dedicated servers or are running your application in containers, you can find the supported way to add environment variables to your platform.
