Do you have a comparison of this to open source vault? The biggest issue with secret managers isn’t storage though its authenticating clients. Does this support auth via IAM, k8s, okta, ldap, sso providers?
Very valid point - the main problem to solve here isn't storage and encryption. We think the clouds do a great job for that, hence our self-hosted approach.
It’s important to note that the goal here is not to replace Vault. Vault pioneered a lot of best practices in this space, which we build on top of. The gap we want to fill is of complexity and developer-experience, while playing well with existing tools, as stated.
Re: identity – it’s on our immediate roadmap to integrate with identity providers (similar to Vault). We offer a similar model of pluggable secrets backends inspired by Vault (currently supporting DB’s such as Postgres and Mongo). If you want to use your existing SSO provider, our private enterprise beta comes with WorkOS integration. Please reach out at support@usegarnet.com if you’re interested, and we’d love to talk more about your specific needs!
I don't think its a good idea on take on Vault's complexity. One of the value props i see here is the simplicity of using 'garnet run <scope> -- <executable>' which is something you don't get in Vault unless you write a wrapper (although envconsul provides a similar abstraction: https://github.com/hashicorp/envconsul).
