Just first day and first post on the Dev! So ignore errors
And Gonna share what i have done today !!
Spent the day getting my hands dirty with HashiCorp Vault — honestly feels like a developer’s Swiss Army knife for secrets.
Instead of scattering creds in .env files or configs, Vault centralizes and secures them. You can:
- Store & rotate secrets safely
- Manage auth methods (tokens, userpass, etc.)
- Encrypt/decrypt data with the Transit engine 4.Write + attach fine-grained policies
What I did today
1.Deployed Vault dev server
2.Enabled secrets engines
3.Versioned, created, and destroyed secrets
4.Worked with auth tokens & userpass method
5.Used Vault UI & CLI
6.Played with policies (create, test, revoke)
