Secrets Management

Infisical provides a flexible platform for managing secrets such as API keys, database credentials, and application configuration across every stage of the development lifecycle — from local development to production. It enables teams to eliminate hardcoded secrets, enforce fine-grained access controls, deliver secrets across their infrastructure, and adopt secure workflows like secret rotation and dynamic secrets.

The short video below provides a guided overview of Infisical's secrets management capabilities and key concepts, helping you build the right mental model before diving into the rest of the documentation.
