AWS SECRETS MANAGER AGENT

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The AWS Secrets Manager Agent is a client-side HTTP service that can be used to standardize the consumption of secrets from Secrets Manager across environments such as AWS Lambda, Amazon Elastic Container Service, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. The Secrets Manager Agent can retrieve and cache secrets in memory so that your applications can consume secrets directly from the cache. That means you can fetch the secrets your application needs from the localhost instead of making calls to the Secrets Manager.
