CredStash is a Python CLI utility for managing and distributing shared credentials in the cloud, encrypting secrets with AWS KMS key wrapping and storing them in DynamoDB. It offers a simple alternative to heavyweight secret-management systems for AWS-based teams.
Use cases
- store database passwords securely in aws
- share api keys across a fleet of servers
- avoid committing secrets to git
- manage secrets with kms encryption
- distribute credentials to cloud applications
- simple alternative to hashicorp vault on aws
When to choose
- you run entirely on AWS and already use KMS and DynamoDB
- you want a minimal, easy-to-use secrets store without operating a server
- you need cross-language access via community ports
When to avoid
- you need a multi-cloud or on-premises secrets solution
- you require advanced features like dynamic secrets, leasing, or fine-grained ACLs
- you need actively maintained software - the latest release is from 2022
