 - enable/disable dev mode using `BASSET_DEV_MODE=false` - this will force Basset to internalize assets even on localhost
 - change the disk where assets get internalized using `BASSET_DISK=yourdiskname`
 - disable the cache map using `BASSET_CACHE_MAP=false` (needed on serverless like Laravel Vapor)
+- use an external CDN together with Basset using `BASSET_CDN_URL=https://yoursite.examplecdnprovider`
