<Info>
  Warning: Always handle your API keys securely. Do not expose them in
  client-side code or share them publicly. Store them in a secure location, such
  as environment variables, and rotate them regularly to minimize security
  risks. If compromised, regenerate your API key immediately. For public
  repositories, store API keys in a .env file and add .env to .gitignore to
  prevent accidental exposure in your codebase.
</Info>

You are all set and ready to go for deploying a subgraph.
