Abstract

Secrets are out. Credentials are in. This new Rails 5.2 feature offers a number of advantages over the old way of managing secrets. You get atomic deploys, you avoid putting sensitive data on environment variables, and your data is always encrypted. This talk will reveal the secrets to success in using Credentials and EncryptedConfiguration, the API it uses internally. This is a sponsored talk by Engine Yard.
