Secrets

Every app has secrets - API keys, passwords, credentials etc... Managing secrets can be a bit of a pain, so we've built secret management into Keel that is both secure and easy to to use.

⚠️

For non-sensitive configuration values use environment variables.

Defining Secrets

Secrets are defined in a keelconfig.yaml file which should be in the root of your project.

keelconfig.yaml

secrets:
  - name: MY_SECRET
  - name: MY_OTHER_SECRET

Names

Secrets must be named in UPPER_SNAKE_SNAKE and cannot start with the prefix KEEL_. In the keelconfig.yaml file you only provide the names of your secrets - this is enough to enable type-safe access of your secrets in your schema and your functions.

Values

For deployed environments you can set secret values in the console by going to the Secrets section in the console.
