Currently, there is an explosion of tools that aim to manage secrets for automated, cloud native infrastructure management. Daniel Somerfield did some work classifying the various approaches, but (as far as I know) no one has made a recent effort to summarize the various tools.

This is an attempt to give a quick overview of what can be found out there. The list is alphabetical. There will be tools that are missing, and some of the facts might be wrong--I welcome your corrections. For the purpose, I can be reached via @maxvt on Twitter, or just leave me a comment here.

There is a companion feature matrix of various tools. Comments are welcome in the same manner.

Directory structure for JavaScript/Node Projects

While the following structure is not an absolute requirement or enforced by the tools, it is a recommendation based on what the JavaScript and in particular Node community at large have been following by convention.

Beyond a suggested structure, no tooling recommendations, or sub-module structure is outlined here.

Directories

lib/ is intended for code that can run as-is
src/ is intended for code that needs to be manipulated before it can be used

Some CoffeeScript (verbosely commented for clarity)

# Override Rails handling of confirmation

$.rails.allowAction = (element) ->
  # The message is something like "Are you sure?"
  message = element.data('confirm')

	Remove ._*- and .AppleDouble-files from folders.

	Cred to hiber for suggesting adding -print0/-0 to solve whitespace issue.

	See all ._*-files:
	find . -name '._*' \| more

	Remove all ._*-files:
	find . -name '._*' -print0 \| xargs -0 rm
