Envshed vs Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Secret Management

Envshed is a cloud secrets manager for small engineering teams, with a CLI that works across monorepos. It manages secrets and environments, supports per-user overrides, warns about expirations, allows project duplication and keeps an audit trail. For pnpm or npm workspaces, the CLI can detect workspaces and retrieve secrets from the repository root. Listed integrations include GitHub Actions, Docker, a Node.js SDK, a CLI for any shell and Coolify; a REST API supports languages including Python, Go and Rust. Secret values are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, traffic uses TLS 1.3, and encryption keys are held separately from encrypted data. Envshed offers role-based access control and an immutable audit trail, including records of secret reads and changes. The maker says it is not a zero-knowledge vault: a small on-call group with production credentials could technically decrypt a secret value. Data is stored in one region on US-based cloud infrastructure. Self-hosting is unavailable, and the service is not yet SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified. The Developer plan is free forever for up to two members and three projects; Team is $5/user/month and Business is $9/user/month.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Secret Management stores, retrieves, rotates, and manages credentials used by applications and cloud environments. It supports database passwords, access tokens, third-party API keys, SSH private keys, application configuration secrets, and OAuth2 or JWT signing credentials. Administrators and applications can access secrets through APIs, SDKs, the CLI, and OCI Console. OCI Vault keys encrypt secrets, while OCI manages encryption, decryption, access control, and audit logging; OCI IAM policies provide granular permissions. Automatic rotation can run at intervals from one to 12 months and integrates with Autonomous AI Database and OCI Functions. Secrets can be replicated to as many as three destination regions, where replicas are read-only and inherit changes from the source. A tenancy can contain up to 5,000 secrets, with up to 30 active versions and 30 versions pending deletion per secret. The service is aimed at applications and cloud environments that need centrally managed secrets rather than credentials embedded in source code or configuration files. It is listed as free, though no price is provided.
