  • external-secrets

    External Secrets Operator reads information from a third-party service like AWS Secrets Manager and automatically injects the values as Kubernetes Secrets.

    Your ask is unclear but I think you're looking for something like https://github.com/external-secrets/external-secrets

  • argocd-vault-plugin

    An Argo CD plugin to retrieve secrets from Secret Management tools and inject them into Kubernetes secrets

    We’re using https://github.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-vault-plugin which allows you to define secrets in git (works with more backends than just hashicorp vault despite the name). The documentation took me a bit to figure out, but so far it works.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • argocd-lovely-plugin

    A plugin to make Argo CD behave like we'd like.

  • kubernetes-secret-generator

    Kubernetes controller for automatically generating and updating secrets

    If your secret are not necessarily to be known prior deployment I use this plugin https://github.com/mittwald/kubernetes-secret-generator

  • terratest

    Terratest is a Go library that makes it easier to write automated tests for your infrastructure code.

    I've ported all my helm charts as terraform modules, because they'd require a ton of customization anyway to replace all the kube-webhook-certgen jobs with the respective cert-manager annotations, I also prefer to sprinkle everything with terratest suites for every tf module.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
