2024-10-21 - Secrets Management
6 months ago by Jared Wray
We are pleased to announce our secrets management system called ENV ๐. Based on what developers are used, easy for teams to manage, and secure by default.

Here are some of the amazing features that are built:
- Your data is stored fully encrypted, so we never see or generate the encryption keys. These keys are created locally on your machine with OpenSSLโs AES-256-CBC symmetric encryption cipher to keep your data fully encrypted at all times.
- Use the
.env
environment that your developers use today and not something new when moving to production. - ENV Integrates with popular cloud providers, CI/CD tools and developer frameworks so that you can automatically inject secrets during the build and deployment process
- Update encryption keys without interrupting the functionality of your apps, ensuring both security and operational continuity ๐
- Manage access to your secrets by, user, environment, and IP address, ensuring the right people and services have the right access
- View past versions of your secrets for any environment, making it simple to revert when needed
- An intuitive CLI that makes managing your appโs secrets and configurations fast and effortless.
- Every access attempt, success or fail, is logged in detail, providing full visibility into who is accessing your secrets and from where โค๏ธ
It is just built into our platform and based on the same team and member system as Smart Access! ๐ฅ Here are some guides to get you started:
- Quickstart - start here as it helps you download the CLI (
