Secrets-Hardened Application — AWS Architecture Template
Application that fetches KMS-encrypted credentials from Secrets Manager at runtime with automated Lambda rotation.
Why this architecture works
- No credentials in code, images, or environment files — the app fetches them at runtime with its task role
- A rotation Lambda changes the database password on schedule without redeploying the application
- KMS envelope encryption plus IAM resource policies double-gate every secret read
- Secret access is logged, so any unexpected reader shows up in monitoring immediately
- Compromised credentials have a bounded lifetime because rotation is automatic, not aspirational
