In their own words
Infisical
Infisical is an identity security platform for managing application secrets, certificates, and privileged access across cloud, on-prem, and AI infrastructure. Secrets Management centralizes credentials for syncing, rotation, and auditing across environments and workloads, with role-based access scoped by environment, path, and identity. Secrets can be rotated on a schedule or issued as short-lived credentials. Certificate Management handles private certificate authorities and automates certificate issuance, renewal, and revocation. Privileged Access provides short-lived identity-based sessions with auditing, while Agent Proxy keeps real secrets at the proxy and gives agents placeholders, with requests logged. Infisical lists integrations including AWS, Azure Key Vault, GitHub, GitLab, Datadog, OpenAI, and PostgreSQL. It can be used as Infisical Cloud or self-hosted. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $20 a month billed annually. The free certificate plan is limited to 10 active certificates, up to 5 SANs per certificate, and no wildcard SANs.
