Overview#

The Secrets domain provides secure management of sensitive credentials and configuration values used across the platform. It ensures that API keys, tokens, passwords, certificates, and other secrets are stored securely, accessed only by authorized services, and rotated according to organizational policies.

Key Features#

  • Secure Storage - All secrets are encrypted at rest and accessible only through authenticated, authorized requests, ensuring sensitive credentials are protected throughout their lifecycle.

  • Multiple Secret Types - Manage a variety of credential types including API keys, database passwords, OAuth tokens, webhook secrets, certificates, and SSH keys with type-specific handling and validation.

  • Access Logging - Every secret access is recorded with a complete audit trail, providing visibility into who accessed what credentials and when for security monitoring and compliance.

  • Rotation Management - Track rotation schedules and expiration dates for all secrets, with alerts when credentials are approaching expiration to prevent service disruptions.

  • Version History - Maintain versioned records of secret values to support rollback scenarios and ensure continuity during credential rotation processes.

  • Expiration Monitoring - Automatically track expiration dates and generate notifications before secrets expire, reducing the risk of service outages due to stale credentials.

Use Cases#

  • API Credential Management - Securely store and distribute API keys and tokens used by platform services to communicate with external providers and data sources.

  • Certificate Lifecycle - Manage SSL/TLS certificates and SSH keys with rotation tracking to ensure encrypted communications remain valid and uninterrupted.

  • Compliance Auditing - Demonstrate proper credential management practices to auditors with comprehensive access logs and rotation histories.

  • Credential Rotation - Plan and execute credential rotation across services with version management to ensure zero-downtime transitions.

Integration#

The Secrets domain supports secure operations across the platform:

  • Service Configuration - Platform services retrieve credentials securely at runtime
  • External Integrations - API credentials for third-party services are managed centrally
  • Audit and Compliance - Access logs contribute to the organization's compliance posture
  • Alert System - Expiration warnings feed into the notification system
