FAQ

Isn't it inefficient if my app makes a request every time it needs a secret?

The client SDK caches every secret and implements a 5-minute waiting period before re-requesting it. The waiting period can be controlled by setting the cacheTTL parameter at the time of initializing the client.

Note: The exact parameter name may differ depending on the language.

What if a request for a secret fails?

The SDK caches every secret and falls back to the cached value if a request fails. If no cached value ever-existed, the SDK falls back to whatever value is on the process environment.

Can I attach the environment variables to my process environment?

Yes you can! The client SDK provides a method to attach the secrets to your process environment. When using the listSecrets() method, you can pass a attachToProcessEnv parameter, which tells the SDK to attach all the found secrets to your process environment.

Note: The exact parameter name may differ depending on the language.

What if a request for a secret fails?

The SDK caches every secret and falls back to the cached value if a request fails. If no cached value is found, and the request fails, then the SDK throws an error.
