| 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 documentation authors and small teams checking references locally or in CI. Start with a specific file and interpret findings; it does not establish complete site or login functionality. | 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. |
