How does decodeRing help reduce the complexity of managing secrets, API keys, credentials, certificates and other sensitive data – one of the biggest challenges for modern enterprises? As organizations adopt multi-cloud strategies, the problem only grows. How do you securely and efficiently manage secrets across AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-prem environments while keeping developers productive and security teams confident?
Uber recently shared a deep dive into their solution to this problem:
Building Uber’s Multi-Cloud Secrets Management Platform
Their journey highlights the pain points that nearly every large organization faces today and it’s a story that resonates with anyone who’s tried to scale secrets management beyond a single cloud or team.
Uber’s Challenge – Multi-Cloud, Multi-Platform with One Source of Truth
Uber’s engineering teams needed a way to manage secrets that worked seamlessly across multiple cloud providers as well as internal platforms like HashiCorp Vault.
The stakes
Secrets sprawl, inconsistent policies, and manual processes were leading to security risks, operational overhead, and developer frustration. Their solution was to build a unified, scalable secrets management platform that could:
- Integrate with multiple cloud providers and internal systems
- Provide a single source of truth for secrets
- Enforce consistent security policies
- Automate secret rotation and access controls
- Empower developers with self-service access, without sacrificing security
This approach required significant engineering investment and custom infrastructure, something only a handful of companies at Uber’s scale can afford to build and maintain.
decodeRing: Bringing Multi-Cloud Secrets Management to Everyone
At decodeRing we believe that every organization deserves the same level of security, automation and developer experience that Uber had no choice but to build without the need for a massive internal platform team. That’s why we’re bringing an open standard and commoditization approach to secrets management.
Our platform is designed to lower the barrier to secure secrets access, making developers’ lives markedly better.

- Unified Secrets Policy: No more fragmented policies or inconsistent enforcement resulting from six, ten or more secrets vaults. decodeRing provides a single, unified policy engine that governs secrets access everywhere.
- Near Zero Operational Overhead: We eliminate the need for duplicate infrastructure, manual processes and ad-hoc scripts. Secrets management becomes a service, not a project and SecOps teams get peace of mind.
- Reduced Organizational Complexity: By centralizing secrets consumption, decodeRing remove the silos and confusion that come with multiple tools and teams.
- Improved Security Posture: With automated rotation, fine-grained access controls and comprehensive audit trails, you can close security blind spots and meet compliance requirements with confidence.
Making Developers’ Lives Easier
For developers, decodeRing means instant secure access to the secrets they need. No more waiting on tickets, deciphering documentation or worrying about breaking security policies. Our self-service workflows and developer-friendly APIs and SDKs let teams move fast while security teams retain full visibility and control.
The Future is now – Commoditizing Secrets Management
Just as cloud computing commoditized infrastructure, decodeRing is commoditizing secrets management. We’re making it easy, affordable and secure for any organization to adopt best-in-class practices no matter their size, architecture or footprint.
