How Do I Securely Manage My Application Programming Interface Key? or What’s the Best Way to Protect

Yo, I feel you on the paranoia. One time I accidentally pushed a .env file to GitHub, and within minutes, some bot was spamming my API.

Now I use Doppler (doppler.com) to manage my application programming interface keys. It syncs with .env but way more secure.

Also, rotate your keys regularly! Even if they’re stored safely, it’s good practice.
