Ask HN: In a microservice architecture, how do you handle managing secrets?
I'm evaluating solutions for secrets management in relation to a distributed microservice architecture and am curious to hear what everyone else out there does. Some options I've considered:
- Git-crypt and deploying secrets along with binaries
- Hashicorp Vault
- Square Keywhiz
- AWS KMS
- Lyft Confidant
- Roll your own
All seem to have pros and cons depending on use cases and how mission critical the service you are offering is.
So what do you do to solve this problem in your world?
