🚨 Backup encryption key

Do copy the value of ENCRYPTION_KEY config in either backend/.env or platform-service/.env file to a secure location.

Adapter credentials are encrypted by the platform using this key. Its loss or change will make all existing adapters inaccessible!

📊 A note on analytics

In full disclosure, Unstract integrates Posthog to track usage analytics. As you can inspect the relevant code here, we collect the minimum possible metrics. Posthog can be disabled if desired by setting REACT_APP_ENABLE_POSTHOG to false in the frontend's .env file.
