Infisical — Open-Source Secret Management

Infisical Features

Why Infisical for AI Apps?

AI applications typically manage:

• 3-5 LLM API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Groq)
• Database credentials (PostgreSQL, Redis, vector DBs)
• Cloud storage keys (S3, GCS)
• Service tokens (GitHub, Slack, email)
• Per-environment configs (dev, staging, production)

Infisical centralizes all of these with access control, rotation, and audit.

Web Dashboard

• Visual secret management per project and environment
• Team access control (RBAC)
• Secret versioning and change history
• Folder organization
• Search and filter

CLI Injection

# Inject secrets as environment variables
infisical run -- npm start
infisical run -- python train_model.py
infisical run -- docker compose up

# Specific environment
infisical run --env=production -- python deploy.py

SDKs (10+ Languages)

# Python
from infisical_client import InfisicalClient
client = InfisicalClient(token="...")
api_key = client.get_secret("OPENAI_API_KEY", project_id="...", environment="prod")

// Node.js
import { InfisicalClient } from '@infisical/sdk';
const client = new InfisicalClient({ token: '...' });
const secret = await client.getSecret({ secretName: 'OPENAI_API_KEY', ... });

Secret Rotation

# Auto-rotate API keys on a schedule
rotation:
  - secret: OPENAI_API_KEY
    interval: 30d
    provider: custom
    script: rotate-openai-key.sh

Auto-Sync to Cloud Services

Sync secrets automatically to:

• AWS Secrets Manager / Parameter Store
• GCP Secret Manager
• Azure Key Vault
• Vercel, Netlify, Railway
• GitHub Actions, GitLab CI
• Kubernetes Secrets
• Docker Compose

Audit Logs

Every secret access is logged:

• Who accessed which secret
• When and from where
• IP address and user agent
• Exportable for compliance

FAQ

Q: What is Infisical? A: Infisical is an open-source secret management platform with 25,700+ GitHub stars for storing, syncing, and rotating API keys and secrets across teams, environments, and cloud services.

Q: Why not just use .env files? A: .env files don't scale — they get committed to git, can't be rotated, have no access control, and are impossible to audit. Infisical provides centralized management, team RBAC, auto-rotation, cloud sync, and audit logs.

Q: Is Infisical free? A: Yes, open-source under MIT (core). Self-host for free. Infisical Cloud has a free tier for small teams.
