We have something similar here is Salesforce. Here we call them as Custom Settings. We can store some of the environment variables that you require across the application.

Have a look here

Custom Settings is the most appropriate way to store settings as you would a properties file.

Personally, I think a properties type mechanism would be very useful.  Things that you don't want to have to compile for, but don't want to have a UI for settings kind of things.
