Credentials and Secrets

Credentials and Secrets

Protecting credentials is a core part of platform safety. Apployd supports secure secret usage patterns for production teams.

Secret-first configuration

Use platform-managed environment secrets instead of storing sensitive values in repository files.

Secrets should be scoped to the right workspace context and controlled through explicit access rules.

Credential lifecycle discipline

Strong secret handling requires process discipline. Rotation and revocation should be planned, routine, and incident-driven when needed.

  • Rotate values on policy schedule and after incidents.
  • Avoid shared human credentials for service access.
  • Revoke compromised values immediately.
  • Apply least-privilege access for team members.
