AWS Secrets Manager - The Default Choice
We have most of our infra on AWS, so naturally, AWS Secrets Manager plays a key role in managing the secrets.
Be it DB connection string, url, username, password, etc. all the little pieces that allow a service to connect to other services to do meaningful things, we store everything in AWS Secrets Manager.
- Single source of truth for secrets
- Securely share secrets with colleagues
- Securely store secrets for services to access during runtime
- The whole secret vs key-value naming could be confusing for beginner
- The lack of history is quite inconvenient
- The ability to securely store & share secrets greatly improves security posture
- Services can be made to retrieve secrets externally at runtime
- Can control secrets for different environments for different groups of people
Both AWS Secrets Manager & MS Azure Key Vault are pretty similar. They're the default secrets manager on their respective cloud platform.
The choice comes down to where your infra resides on.

Great tool
[AWS Secrets Manager] is used for storing and managing who can access and use the secrets variables along with the project. The entire organization uses it. It solves the part that with a simple command before running the project all users (depending on their roles) can get the secrets in reading mode.
- One trust source for all secrets
- You can divide them per environment
- You can give different access to users
- It could be good if a user can use a variable in the project but can't see them in the manager on AWS
- Assign variables per environment
- Give permissions per user role
- One trust source for all variables
- Costs are suitable
- ROI is positive
