Why Not Hardcode Secrets?
Embedding API keys or DB passwords in your Lambda code or environment variables is risky: anyone with read access can see them, and rotating them means a redeploy.
AWS Secrets Manager centralizes secrets, encrypts them, and supports automatic rotation.
What Secrets Manager Stores
Common secrets include:
- Database credentials
- Third-party API keys
- OAuth tokens
- Encryption keys
Each secret is encrypted at rest with AWS KMS.
Creating a Secret
Secrets are stored as key/value JSON. You can create one from the CLI.
aws secretsmanager create-secret \
--name prod/db/credentials \
--secret-string '{"username":"admin","password":"S3cr3t!"}'Granting Lambda Access
Your Lambda execution role needs permission to read the secret. Scope it to the exact ARN, not a wildcard.
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",
"Resource": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:123:secret:prod/db/credentials-*"
}Retrieving a Secret in Code
Use the AWS SDK to fetch the secret value at runtime.
const { SecretsManager } = require("@aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager");
const sm = new SecretsManager();
const res = await sm.getSecretValue({ SecretId: "prod/db/credentials" });
const creds = JSON.parse(res.SecretString);Caching Secrets
Calling Secrets Manager on every invocation adds latency and cost. Fetch once outside the handler so the value is reused across warm invocations.
let cached;
async function getCreds() {
if (!cached) {
const r = await sm.getSecretValue({ SecretId: "prod/db/credentials" });
cached = JSON.parse(r.SecretString);
}
return cached;
}Automatic Rotation
Secrets Manager can rotate credentials on a schedule using a rotation Lambda. For supported databases (RDS), AWS provides a ready-made rotation function so passwords change without code edits.
Secrets vs Parameter Store
SSM Parameter Store also stores config and SecureString values, and is cheaper. Use Parameter Store for plain config; use Secrets Manager when you need built-in rotation and cross-account sharing.
Encryption with KMS
Every secret is encrypted with a KMS key. Use the default AWS-managed key for simplicity, or a customer-managed key (CMK) for fine-grained access control and audit.
Auditing Access
Every GetSecretValue call is logged to CloudTrail. Review these logs to detect unexpected access and prove compliance.
Best Practices
Keep secrets safe:
- Never log the secret value
- Scope IAM to the exact secret ARN
- Enable rotation for long-lived credentials
- Cache across warm invocations, not in source control
Quick Check
Test your Secrets Manager knowledge.
Recap
You learned to secure credentials:
- Store secrets in Secrets Manager, never in code
- Grant least-privilege IAM to the exact ARN
- Fetch with the SDK and cache across warm invocations
- Enable automatic rotation and audit via CloudTrail
