Encrypting PostgreSQL Columns in Scala with skunk-crypt

1. skunk-crypt

   1 1 7 6.8 Scala

   Transparent AES-GCM column encryption for PostgreSQL, as drop-in Skunk codecs

   

   skunk-crypt takes a smaller, sharper angle: encryption is just another Skunk codec. You keep writing ordinary Skunk queries; you just swap text for crypt.text. Plain values in your application, AES-256-GCM ciphertext in the database, and the key never leaves your process.

   A data access library for Scala + Postgres.

4. testcontainers-node

   Testcontainers is a NodeJS library that supports tests, providing lightweight, throwaway instances of common databases, Selenium web browsers, or anything else that can run in a Docker container.

   

   Codec round-trips are pure, so you can unit-test encrypt-then-decrypt without a database at all. For the real thing — values actually flowing through Postgres — skunk-crypt's own suite uses Testcontainers to spin up a throwaway postgres:16, which is a good pattern to copy:
