Every app has some type of credentials to be managed. Database passwords, API keys, 3rd party services, and more. So how to you securely get these into your app without comprimising them?
In this video you will learn 4 different ways to tackle this:
CLI arguments
Environment Variables
.env files
Using a secrets manager like AWS or Hashicorp Vault
We'll cover the pros and cons of each and I'll show you how I implemented it in the new app I'm building, leetproof.com.
