Security & Secrets

We integrate security as a foundational aspect of every feature we design. By providing explicit tooling and automation, we make the secure path the easiest path.

Dynamic Secret Management

We strictly utilize central secret management systems to inject configurations safely.

• Dynamic Provisioning: We retrieve all keys and database credentials dynamically at runtime, ensuring sensitive data remains out of our source code.
• Local Dev Sandbox: We configure our ./dev tooling to securely load restricted sandbox credentials for local environments. This provides engineers with fully functional development environments while completely shielding production data from local machines.

Delegation of Identity

We partner with robust Identity Providers (IdP) to handle all aspects of authentication and session management.

• We delegate complex OAuth flows, MFA, and secure password hashing to specialized infrastructure.
• We secure our internal APIs by explicitly parsing and verifying the cryptographic signatures (JWTs) provided by the IdP on every request. This ensures a zero-trust model where our Domain logic acts confidently based on verified identity claims.

Shift-Left Security Practices

We automate security checks early in the development lifecycle to catch vulnerabilities instantly.

• Static Analysis: We run Software Composition Analysis and Dependency Scanners concurrently on every pull request to guarantee we identify and update vulnerable open-source packages before they merge.
• Principle of Least Privilege: We carefully assign highly restricted minimum permissions to each compute instance and database role. This ensures that even if a service boundary is ever compromised, the potential blast radius remains heavily confined.
