Open-source alternative to HashiCorp/IBM Vault

In plain words

This open-source project provides an alternative to HashiCorp and IBM Vault for secrets management. Designed for developers and infrastructure teams who need to store and manage sensitive data, it offers the core functionality of commercial vault solutions without vendor lock-in. The project launched in April 2024 and is available on GitHub for self-hosted deployment and community contribution.

  Infisical – open-source secrets manager2022 · github.com · ▲232

  Last month, we open-sourced Infisical (https://github.com/Infisical/infisical) - a simple, end-to-end encrypted tool to sync environment variables across your team and infrastructure. You can use it to store environment variables and inject them into your applications locally or into CI/CD and production infrastructure. It can be used with any language/framework and is platform independent with a super easy setup. We know secret managers exist but, in our experience, they’re too complicated, not comprehensive, not user-friendly, or a mix of all three — other…

  Agent Vault – Open-source credential proxy and vault for agentsApr 2026 · github.com · ▲156

  Hey HN! Today we're launching Agent Vault - an open source HTTP credential proxy and vault for AI agents. Repo is at https://github.com/Infisical/agent-vault, and there's an in-depth description at https://infisical.com/blog/agent-vault-the-open-source-crede....

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
