DATABASE_URL: This environment variable stores the connection string to your MongoDB database. For instance, it could point to a MongoDB Atlas cluster (e.g., mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.mongodb.net/myDatabase) or a local MongoDB instance for development purposes.

MONGOMS_SYSTEM_BINARY: This variable specifies the path to the MongoDB system binary (e.g., mongod.exe). It's primarily used in testing scenarios that require MongoDB, particularly when using versions like MongoDB v6.0.9.

APP_PORT: The port number on which your application will run. For example, in a local environment, this could be set to 3000 for a Node.js app or any other port number depending on the server configuration.

REDIS_URL: The connection string for your Redis server. Redis is typically used for caching and real-time functionality. For example, redis://localhost:6379 for a local instance or redis://<username>:<password>@redis.cloudprovider.com:6379 for a cloud-based Redis service.

JWT Secrets

USER_SECRET, MODERATOR_SECRET, CONTROLLER_SECRET: These are the JWT (JSON Web Token) secret keys used to sign and verify tokens for different roles within your application. Each role (user, moderator, and controller) has its own secret for security.
