About:
SecretSpec is a declarative secrets management tool that allows users to define secrets and their configurations in a simple, version-controlled specification file. It automates the retrieval and injection of secrets from various backends like Vault or cloud providers, ensuring consistent and secure access across environments. This approach simplifies secret rotation and enhances security posture by eliminating hardcoded credentials.
Key Features:
  • Declarative YAML/JSON specification for secrets
  • Support for multiple secret backends (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager)
  • Automatic secret injection into applications and environments
  • Built-in validation and drift detection
  • GitOps-friendly workflow integration
Use Cases:
  • Managing and injecting database credentials into microservices at runtime
  • Centralizing API key management for CI/CD pipelines
  • Enforcing consistent secret configurations across development, staging, and production environments
Alternatives:
  • HashiCorp Vault – Vault is a full-featured secrets and encryption management system, while SecretSpec focuses more on the declarative specification and orchestration layer, often using Vault as a backend.
  • SOPS – SOPS encrypts values within files, whereas SecretSpec manages the entire lifecycle and sourcing of secrets from external stores via a declarative manifest.
