Problem
Developers often struggle with managing, rotating, and securing API keys and credentials across multiple environments, leading to accidental exposure, compliance risks, and operational overhead.
Solution
Latchkey offers a cloud‑based key management service that centralizes the storage, distribution, and lifecycle management of API secrets. The platform provides a web console and CLI tools for generating, rotating, and revoking keys on demand, while integrating with CI/CD pipelines to inject secrets securely at build time. All secrets are encrypted at rest with customer‑controlled keys and transmitted over TLS, ensuring end‑to‑end confidentiality. Access to each key can be scoped by environment, team, or application, and audit logs record every operation for compliance reporting. Latchkey’s SDKs for popular languages enable applications to retrieve secrets at runtime without hard‑coding credentials.
Target Audience
Primary customers are software development teams, DevOps engineers, and security professionals who need to manage secrets across cloud‑native applications and microservice architectures.
