Can you shed some light here

If I need access to a decryption key to read my secrets or to provide my secret to a process I still have to manage my decryption key which means I might as well use that process to manage my secret

A short list of additional benefits:

- Secrets are automatically kept in sync across multiple processes and servers.

- Easily and securely give other developers access (to what they need, and no more).

- You can automatically reload a process when secrets update.

- All updates and accesses are logged.

- End-to-end encrypted version control.

- You can limit access to specific IPs or IP ranges.

- You can edit multiple environments side by side (development, staging, production, etc.)

- You can use de-duplicate across environments and apps using inheritance or stackable ‘blocks’ of config.
