Storing & Using API Keys Securely: Best Practices for Secret Management in Development

Managing API keys and secrets is critical to secure applications. In Storing & Using API Keys Securely, Steven Paul delivers a hands‑on guide to best practices in secret management, covering: 

• Secure storage techniques (vaults, environment variables, hardware modules). 
• Rotation, versioning, and automated secret injection in CI/CD pipelines. 
• Protecting keys in client‑side and server‑side code, with real‑world code samples. 

This workbook includes step‑by‑step tutorials, configuration files, and exercises so developers and DevOps engineers can implement robust secret‑management workflows in any environment.
