Can I use the APPPATH/Config to store credentials file?

Hi,

I'm developing a new system, and the .env is not enough to store my configs, can I create a .config.json inside the app/Config folder? any thoughts? Is that a safe place to store it?

PS: It is not committed to the repo.

Thank you so much for your attention and participation.

No problem. this is a development solution
