Avoid Using Double Quotes for Environment Variables
When configuring the PostgreSQL user and database names in a Helm values.yaml file, I initially wrapped the values in double quotes. This led to a frustrating issue where I couldn’t connect to the database, receiving errors that the role did not exist. The double quotes were being interpreted literally, causing mismatches in authentication.
Solution: I removed the double quotes around the environment variables in my Helm chart and reapplied the configuration. This corrected the problem, and I was then able to connect successfully to the database.
