We do not store secrets or api keys as-is in the database instead we use a form of secret management system, we currently support a few which will be listed before. Our source code is 100% public and you can view the implementations on Github.

We also deploy the exact version on Github to our prod servers without any modification whatsoever. Our deployment can be found on github too

There currently isn’t a migration process from one provider to another but it is something we might explore in the future. Which is also why we have chosen to support only the most reliable and popular managers

​
AES

We highly recommend this as it does not require you to set up another infra

While this is not a secret manager, aes-gcm encrypts your data before being stored in the database.
