title: database credentials and leiningen?
body: <p>I'm working on a clojure web application, using leiningen 2 for build and deployment. It's a very vanilla webapp, and I'm using compojure, ring, and lein-beanstalk. My app needs to use both database credentials and S3 credentials, and I'm not sure the best way to store and access them in my app.</p>
  
  <p>What is the common way of handling sensitive things like database credentials, that need to be deployed with my app, using leiningen 2?</p>
  
  <p>it's possible for me to set up environment variables on elastic beanstalk, but I'd like to avoid that route if possible.</p>
