LAYER 3 · INFRA · STAGE 3
Auth & secrets for FDEs
Quick answer
How services prove who they are and where credentials live. Customer security teams will block anything that handles keys carelessly.
Practise it
- 1. Use OAuth client credentials against an API
- 2. Load secrets from a manager, never from code
- 3. Rotate a key without downtime
Where it sits
Stage 3 of the roadmap: Cloud and deployment. You can ship code to an environment you do not own and see it running.
