Happy user of Envkey here. I was trying to get my head around AWS's secrets management, and even with useful blog posts from the likes of Segment.io etc., it was giving me a headache.

Envkey let me set up and deploy secrets management across 3 server groups (development/staging/production) for our web app in under 15 minutes. And I can add new developers and devops people to our app in seconds.

I normally don't like hijacking other people threads about their hard work like this, but I just thought this product should be mentioned as it was a real time saver and headache reducer for us. Very happy to see people like the developers of StrongBox trying to solve this issue and make secrets management easier. The more players in this space, the better, IMO.


Founder of EnvKey here--thanks for the mention. If anyone's interested, EnvKey takes more of a saas plug-and-play approach to managing secrets and configuration and isn't tied to AWS services (though it does run on AWS).

Tools like this one (Strongbox), Parameter Store, etc. are great when you know AWS well and prefer more of a DIY approach on the integration side. EnvKey is more of a "just works" solution for when you either don't have as much DevOps expertise or want to get a secure setup up and running asap so you can move on to the next thing.

EnvKey also helps on the configuration management side with juggling multiple environments (development, staging, production, etc.), inheritance between environments, and keeping developers in sync with each other.
