Confidant is a secret management service from Lyft that stores secrets encrypted at rest in AWS DynamoDB, with a web UI and client tooling. The repository was archived and marked read-only on 2025-02-14 and is officially deprecated.
Use cases
- store application secrets encrypted at rest
- manage credentials for services across a fleet
- self-host a secret keeper backed by DynamoDB and KMS
- distribute secrets to servers and clients securely
- audit and version secret changes via a web interface
When to choose
- you already run Confidant and need to maintain an existing deployment
- you want an AWS-native secrets store with DynamoDB and KMS and can accept an unmaintained tool
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project and need actively maintained secret management (consider alternatives like Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or SOPS)
- you need community support, bug fixes, or new features
- you are not invested in the AWS DynamoDB/KMS ecosystem
