If Secrets Manager goes down or suffers a huge slowdown, then you’ve got some recourse to support — and getting your money back.

Parameter Store is also a one-by-one thing per each and every secret you want to store, whereas Secrets Manager lets you store a whole bunch of components inside of one “secret”.

It’s your choice either way, but for me personally, I’d rather use a service that has an SLA.
