If you’re using a cloud provider (AWS, GCP, etc.), their built-in secret managers are clutch.
For example, AWS Parameter Store is free for basic use and keeps your application programming interface key encrypted. Plus, you can set IAM policies to control who accesses it.
.env files are okay for local stuff, but never ever commit them. And maybe use something like git-secrets to scan for accidental leaks.
