Overview

An "App" in CommandK represents any entity requiring secrets to be managed, such as Microservices, Lambda functions, Cron jobs, etc.

Consider an app as a dedicated vault container exclusively for your application's secrets. By categorizing secrets into apps, you sidestep the intricacies of correctly architecting namespaces for various secret management use cases.

To draw a comparison, think of an App in CommandK like a repository on GitHub. As you manage your application's code within a repository in GitHub, you handle its secrets within an App on CommandK.

Creating Apps

You can create an app in two ways:

Import from an SCM (currently, only 👩‍💻 GitHub is supported).
Manually.
