Cloud computing refers to delivering computing services like data storage, servers, software, and more over the internet, offering flexibility at scale and streamlining resource acquisition and distribution. However, as cloud adoption grows, developers face unique challenges such as securing and managing API keys, database credentials, and other secrets in modern development environments. Multi-cloud development, where companies host their platforms on any combination of public or private clouds, poses additional adaptability benefits but also introduces unique challenges requiring modern solutions. To address these challenges, new tools and strategies have been created, including professionally managed secrets management solutions that help improve security posture by eliminating hard-coded credentials in application source code and CI/CD workflows.
