About the project
This solution specializes in securely storing and distributing sensitive information such as database credentials, API keys, and certificates. Following HashiCorp's license change, the open-source community has taken the lead in forking and continuing development.
Beyond simple storage, it dynamically generates credentials required for AWS or SQL databases at request time and automatically revokes them when the lease period expires. It includes data encryption and detailed audit logging features to standardize complex security infrastructures.
Adhering to an OSI-approved open-source license (MPL-2.0) and community governance, it enables the establishment of long-term security strategies unaffected by changes in specific companies' licensing policies. Written in Go, it supports various backend storages including PostgreSQL.
