I’m the PM for HCP Vault Secrets. Over the course of the beta period, we received overwhelmingly positive feedback from more than 4,000 beta participants. During this time we saw more than 7,500 secrets created and millions of secrets read.

We are excited to announce the general availability of HCP Vault Secrets. We created HCP Vault Secrets as a SaaS service to enable development teams to centralize their secrets management and set up a unified view of their secrets and applications in minutes, while still maintaining their development workflows with their existing cloud secrets managers, CI systems, and deployment services.

HCP Vault Secrets is focused solely on secrets management, allowing centralized platform engineering teams to focus on strengthening their secrets management security posture without compromising on development agility.

We’d love to hear from you! Drop us a line to let us know whether this product resonates with you and how we can make it better!


> 4,000 beta participants > 7,500 secrets created

That would suggest less than two secrets created by an average participant. Sounds about right, I personally created exactly one before realizing that I get absolutely nothing on top of what I already get from AWS Secrets Manager or Parameter Store.

> overwhelmingly positive feedback

TBH everyone I spoke to just echoed the above sentiment, and the numbers mentioned above are hardly indicative of enthusiastic adoption.


how is this different from Infisical?
