SecretHub.io is a SaaS for Secret Management. All software needs secrets to access other resources: encryption keys, API tokens, database passwords. SecretHub helps teams deploy those application secrets to any cloud with a secure, automatic and reproducible deployment process. We launched a highly available and secure SaaS offering Secret Management.
As the first hire, I was involved in many fields of building a business following the Lean Startup Methodology. I was mainly responsible for improving software engineering methods of the development team. I focussed on execution and getting to the minimal loveable product. We frequently performed customer interviews in a fast feedback cycle. We signed up the first customers successfully.
I helped design and build SecretHub from scratch. As a SaaS offering mission critical secret storage we needed a reliable infrastructure. We adopted AWS and build our infrastructure Scalable. Terraform is used to provision our infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code.
Our application consisted of a client application and API. These were build in Golang. The API was hosted in Docker. For the application, I was responsible in designing and implementing the encryption and authentication Scheme. All code was deployed automatically with CI/CD pipelines. The client is open-source.
