Production secrets management
Production secrets are the credentials that unlock live customer data and payment systems. They need tighter access, clearer ownership, and a deploy path that does not depend on a developer’s laptop.
Never reuse development credentials in production
Create a dedicated production environment in EANVI. Copy key names if helpful, but issue production-only values from each vendor. A leaked laptop should not unlock live databases.
Limit who can reveal production values
Prefer viewer or member roles for most engineers on production projects. Reserve write and reveal access for people who operate releases. Audit logs show who revealed a value when something goes wrong.
Deploy from the vault, not from chat
Production deploys should pull from EANVI via CI API keys or your host’s secret injection — not from a shared .env emailed before launch. Local .env files remain useful for development; they are the wrong distribution channel for production.
Plan for incident rotation
If a production key leaks, follow the rotation checklist: new provider credential, update EANVI, redeploy, revoke the old key. Version history shortens the recovery window when a bad update lands.
