use what ever solution you like as long as :

  • it doesn't allow by stander processes to spectate on your secrets
  • it allows you to remotely rotate secrets without having to restart services
  • means you can control access by service identity.

So yeah, that pretty much eliminates your one trick pony.

you don't even need nconf, i could come up with something in several languages that do this:

  • lua, metadata table
  • nodejs, proxies
  • python, metaclasses.
