Environment variables

Lerian SPB is Lerian’s native messaging integration for the STR (Sistema de Transferência de Reservas), BACEN’s real-time gross settlement system, reached over the RSFN. Set these variables at deploy time. A change takes effect only after you restart the service. Most variables are specific to this rail. For the knobs that behave the same way across every Lerian Go service (deployment posture, datastores, multi-tenancy, and telemetry), see BYOC configuration essentials. In the tables below, Required marks a variable you must set, globally or under the condition named. A qualifier such as In production or If enabled narrows when the requirement applies. — means no default.

ENV_NAME arms the stricter security gates. Set it to production or staging and the service enforces TLS on Redis and the STR connection, and verify-full on PostgreSQL. It also requires hardware-backed custody for the key that decrypts inbound messages, and rejects development-only surfaces. ENV_NAME has no default. Set it explicitly. The service refuses to start when ENV_NAME is unset or holds an unrecognized value.

Runtime and server

Variable	Description	Default	Required
`ENV_NAME`	Runtime environment. Must be one of `production`, `staging`, or `develop`. Production and staging arm the security gates described above.	—	Yes
`DEPLOYMENT_MODE`	Deployment flavor: `local`, `byoc`, or `saas`. Production and staging refuse to start without it. `saas` also requires `ENV_NAME` `production` or `staging`, TLS on the datastores, upstreams, and broker, and SASL on the broker.	`local`	In production/staging
`SERVICE_NAME`	Service identifier used in logs and telemetry.	Service default	No
`LOG_LEVEL`	Log verbosity (`debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`).	`info`	No
`SERVER_PORT`	HTTP listen port. The liveness, readiness, and systemplane surfaces bind this same port.	`3000`	No

`TRUSTED_PROXIES`	Comma-separated proxy IPs/CIDRs trusted to set the real client IP.	—	No

Authentication

Lerian SPB delegates authorization, including the systemplane admin API, to Access Manager. See BYOC configuration essentials.

Variable	Description	Default	Required
`PLUGIN_AUTH_ENABLED`	Require Access Manager authentication on protected routes. Set it to `true` or `false`; the service refuses to start when it is unset. `false` is accepted only with `ENV_NAME=develop` and a `DEPLOYMENT_MODE` other than `saas`.	—	Yes

`REDIS_MIN_IDLE_CONNS`	Minimum idle connections.	`5`	No

STR connectivity (RSFN)

Lerian SPB exchanges STR messages with BACEN over the RSFN using an IBM MQ transport. These variables define the participant identity, the queue-manager connection, and the queues. The three queue names derive from STR_ISPB. Production and staging refuse a queue name that differs from the derived name.

Variable	Description	Default	Required

`CB_MIN_REQUESTS`	Minimum requests in a window before the failure ratio can trip the breaker.	`10`	No

Message signing and certificates

Lerian SPB signs every outbound STR message with the certificate at CERT_PATH and its key at KEY_PATH. The signing identity’s metadata file under CERT_BASE_PATH can move that key to a PKCS#11 or KMIP HSM. SPB_SIGNER_KIND chooses the custody backend of a different key: the key that decrypts inbound messages. Production and staging reject the file backend for that key and require pkcs11 or kmip.

Variable	Description	Default	Required
`SPB_SIGNER_KIND`	Custody backend of the inbound-decryption key: `file`, `pkcs11`, or `kmip`. `file` is permitted only when `ENV_NAME=develop`; production and staging reject it. The service refuses `hsm` and `kms`.	`file`	No
`CERT_BASE_PATH`	Base directory for the signing identity’s certificate material and metadata file.	`/certs`	No
`CERT_PATH`	Path to the signing certificate.	—	In production/staging

`SPB_PKCS11_PIN_FILE`	Path to a file holding the token PIN. Sensitive.	—	If `pkcs11`
`SPB_PKCS11_KEY_LABEL`	Label of the signing key on the token.	—	If `pkcs11`

KMIP custody

Required when SPB_SIGNER_KIND=kmip (KMIP-over-HTTP to a network HSM).

Variable	Description	Default	Required
`SPB_KMIP_BASE_URL`	KMIP service base URL.	—	If `kmip`
`SPB_KMIP_VHSM`	Virtual HSM identifier.	—	If `kmip`

`SPB_KMIP_DIGEST_INFO_PREFIX`	Prepend the ASN.1 DigestInfo prefix before the KMIP sign call.	`false`	No

Events and outbox

Lerian SPB records every message before dispatch and publishes lifecycle events through a transactional outbox to the streaming broker. Streaming has no disabled mode. Configure the shared STREAMING_* settings as described in Streaming and outbox.

Variable	Description	Default	Required
`STREAMING_BROKERS`	Broker addresses for event publication. The service refuses to start when the value is absent or invalid.	—	Yes
`STREAMING_CLOUDEVENTS_SOURCE`	CloudEvents source identity. Copy it exactly from the current Lerian deployment package. A different value prevents startup; the service derives its broker topics from it.	—	Yes
`EMISSION_REQUIRED`	When `true`, bootstrap fails closed unless event emission is fully wired.	`false`	No
`OUTBOX_DISPATCH_INTERVAL`	Interval between outbox dispatch cycles (Go duration).	`2s`	No
`OUTBOX_BATCH_SIZE`	Rows drained per dispatch cycle.	`50`	No
`OUTBOX_MAX_PUBLISH_ATTEMPTS`	Total dispatch attempts for an outbox row, across dispatch cycles, before the service stops retrying it. Webhook delivery exhaustion is governed separately by `EVENT_DELIVERY_MAX_ATTEMPTS`.	`3`	No
`OUTBOX_POSTGRES_MAX_OPEN_CONNS`	Max open connections for the outbox pool.	`10`	No
`OUTBOX_POSTGRES_MAX_IDLE_CONNS`	Max idle connections for the outbox pool.	`5`	No

`DISPATCH_MAX_AUTO_ATTEMPTS`	Automatic dispatch attempts before manual intervention.	`8`	No
`DISPATCH_RETRY_BACKOFF_CEILING`	Maximum backoff between dispatch retries (Go duration).	`30m`	No
`LDL_ADVISORY_CONSUMER_ENABLED`	Enable the supervised consumer of SILOC OT-settlement advisory facts. It requires `STREAMING_BROKERS` and durable persistence when enabled, and refuses to start without them. The consumer topic and group are fixed in the service; neither is configurable through the environment. The broker connection comes from the shared `STREAMING_*` settings (see Streaming and outbox). Disabled, its readiness check reports `skipped`.	`false`	No

Approval (maker-checker)

Optional value-band approval that gates STR emission. Off by default. An empty band table lets every emission proceed single-step.

Variable	Description	Default	Required
`APPROVAL_ALCADA_BANDS`	Initial band table: semicolon-separated `maxExclusive:requiredSignatures` bands (e.g. `10000.00:1;100000.00:2`). Empty keeps approval off until an operator sets bands through the governance API.	—	No
`APPROVAL_DEADLINE_WINDOW`	How long a parked emission may wait (Go duration, capped at 7 days).	`24h`	No
`APPROVAL_EXPIRY_ENABLED`	Run the background sweep that expires overdue parked emissions.	`true`	No

`RATE_LIMIT_KEY_WINDOW`	Per-key rate-limit window (Go duration).	`1m`	No
`IDEMPOTENCY_ENABLED`	Enable idempotency-key deduplication. Production and staging refuse `false`.	`true`	No
`IDEMPOTENCY_DEFAULT_TTL_SEC`	How long (seconds) an idempotency key is retained.	`86400`	No

Systemplane and runtime configuration

Lerian SPB mounts the systemplane runtime-configuration admin API at /v1/system on the main port. PostgreSQL backs this plane, so operators can read and change hot-reloadable settings without a restart. See Systemplane for the API, namespaces, and permissions. The CORS origins, the four rate-limit values, the three outbox dispatch values, and the approval bands are hot-reloadable. For these settings, the variable sets the initial value, and a value stored in Systemplane takes precedence.

Encryption and secrets

Variable	Description	Default	Required
`STR_PAYLOAD_ENCRYPTION_KEY`	Base64-encoded AES-256 key for at-rest encryption of stored STR payloads. Sensitive. Required in production/staging.	—	In production/staging
`WEBHOOK_SECRET_KEY`	Key used to encrypt stored webhook secrets, as 64 hexadecimal characters. Sensitive. Required in production/staging.	—	In production/staging
`INBOUND_ALLOW_CLEARTEXT_FALLBACK`	Allow the inbound path to accept unencrypted payloads. Production and staging refuse `true`.	`false`	No

Never commit or log the values of any variable marked Sensitive (passwords, tokens, PINs, and AES keys). Inject them at deploy time through your secret manager.

Observability

`METRICS_PROMETHEUS_ADDRESS`	Listen address for the Prometheus endpoint. Binds loopback by default.	`127.0.0.1:9090`	No

Development-only

Keep these variables unset outside local development. They expand the attack surface, and production or staging rejects or forces them off.

Variable	Description	Default	Required
`ENABLE_DEV_DEBUG_ROUTES`	Expose debug routes. Forbidden in production/staging.	`false`	No
`DEV_DEBUG_TOKEN`	Token guarding the debug routes. Sensitive. Required when debug routes are enabled.	—	If debug enabled
`SWAGGER_ENABLED`	Serve the OpenAPI spec and API docs UI. Forced off in production and staging.	`false`	No
`STR_MQ_MOCK`	Route the STR transport to a mock instead of a live queue manager.	`false`	No
