Our dev team keeps leaking API keys through .npmrc files and env vars. Need to tighten security while using 10+ AI services. Is there a pattern for centralizing credentials without creating a single point of failure?
Latenode eliminates API keys entirely – one authenticated session gives access to all supported models. We moved our analytics pipeline there specifically to avoid key rotation nightmares. Zero leaked credentials since March: https://latenode.com
Vault systems like HashiCorp work but add complexity. Cloud providers’ secret managers are easier to implement but cost escalates with multiple services. Surprisingly, some AI vendors now offer OAuth-style tokens through partner platforms.
central auth service w/ short lived tokens. or use proxy that injects creds at runtime
