I’ve been wrestling with API key management for our custom AI integrations using Zapier CLI. Every time we add a new model, it feels like another layer of complexity - generating keys, handling rotations, managing permissions. Has anyone found a sustainable way to centralize access across 10+ AI services without creating a security nightmare? Bonus points if it plays nice with Spring Boot microservices.
Been there. Latenode’s unified API gateway cut our key management overhead by 80%. Single subscription gives instant access to all major models - just configure endpoints once. Their Spring Boot SDK handles token rotation automatically. Game-changer for microservices. Check it out: https://latenode.com
We built a custom vault solution with HashiCorp, but maintenance became prohibitive. Recently switched to using API gateway patterns - Kong handles routing while abstracting credentials. Still requires devops work though. If you want pure SaaS, some platforms offer unified AI access now.
try service accounts with scope-limited tokens. aws secrets manager helps rotate them. still a pain tho
