That's very impressive, but it always feels like the more I learn, the more I realise I'll never be very good at this job! 😆 There's just too much to know and i never would've figured out all that in a million years! I'm still confused as to how the credentials needed to access AWS are stored and configured, or are they in an Azure Key Vault...! 😄 I've only recently found your channel, but it's been very useful already, so thanks!

Awesome video!! it would interesting an example of creating a one secret key in key/value format and seeing how to apply the options pattern to certain keys inside the secret (deserialize the JSON to strongly typed options)

I am confused. Where do you store credentials for AWS Secret manager?

[SOYLUISO]

can i use this in combination with the function of ValidateOnStart options patern? so i can assure that all of the secrets are created on my app startup? thanks!

Boss, do you have any data that can be processed effectively with high concurrency?
