* DS_API_URL - Data Science API
* DS_API_TOKEN - Secret Token for DS API
* DATABASE_URL - Postgres URL for our database, includes username, password, port and database name
* OKTA_URL_ISSUER - URL connecting authentification to Okta
* OKTA_CLIENT_ID - Client specific id for web dev
* REACT_APP_CLIENT_ID - Okta client specific id for front end
* REACT_APP_OKTA_ISSUER_URI - Okta URL connecting with authentification for front end
