Cloud lock-in (not being able for example to manage cross-platform credentials) and cost.
By itself AWS Secrets Manager is fine, but as with everything AWS, billing is pretty opaque. If you couple this with a poorly planed Lambda setup, costs can potentially uncontrollably scale.
For what you are paying, AWS Secrets Manager seems too barebones/rigid.
- tyingq 6y agoLock in shouldn't be too bad. It's create, get, set, list, delete, describe. I imagine the API footprint isn't much different if you switch over to something else. Most apps will just use get().
- gchamonlive 6y agoIt shouldn't, but it can be very bad. And with vault you potentially circumvent that and end up with a tool that is way more flexible than Secrets Manager.
