| Best use | Ideal for a developer or small platform team that wants encrypted configuration beside code with readable Git diffs. Use it for YAML, JSON, ENV and INI files and tightly scoped CI or runtime access. It is not a replacement for dynamic secret issuance or source-system credential rotation. | For developers and small teams that want architecture and data-flow diagrams close to the repository and reviewable as text. Use it when relationships matter more than pixel-perfect placement; not for free-form marketing design or exact manual positioning. | Best for an individual developer or small team that wants backup, deployment, and scheduled-job alerts without building a notification app. It starts with one HTTP request and can be self-hosted with users and ACLs. It is not a complete incident-management or log-retention system. |
