Securing web applications is fast becoming a business goal for organizations as data breaches can create long-term repercussions. Web AppSec is a tremendous practice for you to protect your websites, databases, and applications. It involves developers taking charge of application security by continuously monitoring and testing their systems. Spectral empowers developers to simplify Web AppSec and make it a part of their everyday tasks.

One method that is effective at keeping secrets hidden is by using vaults. SpectralOps provides such a vault that helps protect secrets by keeping them in a single place and encrypting them to control how they are accessed. We continuously map developer mistakes, access detail, and secret management detection with an ever-growing coverage using AI/ML and our proprietary tech. Check out an example here.

I've used pgmem https://github.com/oguimbal/pg-mem for the last couple of years for the same thing.

I was wondering the other day how to classify tests that use a test double like pg-mem, which isn't a mock but isn't the Dockerized test DB either :

In my case, I use TypeORM with PostgreSQL, and there's pg-mem to run an instance in memory, it supports most of the common functionality of PostgreSQL but you will need to do some adjustment to your code to be within the limits.

Postgres in the browser is possible through pg-mem: "pg-mem is an experimental in-memory emulation of a postgres database" but it also suffers from no persistence. If you can persist to a file somewhere then read it in on startup (and if your local data isn't huge) this might work.

Dont get me wrong: I am trying to contribute to opensource as well, so I get that supporting small projects can be demanding. There's nothing wrong in not spending your weekends on OS. But not asking for help, nor specifying that a project is unmaintained, nor even answering issues & pull requests for years feels just wrong.

Okay, I had a bit of spare time,I've implemented that, and it is now available with [email protected]

To get a glimpse of what I'm talking about, you can clone this repo and follow "Development" instructions (by the way this is a small OS lib I maintain, I wrote about it here)
