I created a .do/app.yaml file for my monorepo. I need to fill the environment_slug key, I could not find any documentation or resource which values are possible to fill that key. A medium thread used go, so I used go aswell for now, but my apps are build with NestJs and NextJs (javascript, nodejs)
Please provide some resource / documentation for this.

Heya,
Just came across this answer and decided to write some general guidelines for anyone who comes across this in the future despite the old question.
The environment_slug key in your .do/app.yaml file determines the software that will be pre-installed on your app’s environment. Here are a few possibilities:
- go for Go language environment
- node for Node.js environment
- python for Python environment
- ruby for Ruby environment
Since you mention your apps are built with NestJs and NextJs, you should use node as your environment_slug to benefit from the Node.js runtime.
For more details on App Platform specifications, check out this App Specification Reference in the DigitalOcean docs. Here you will find other keys that you might need in your .do/app.yaml file.
Hope that this helps!
