The Complete Guide to Ruby on Rails Encrypted Credentials

Modern versions of Ruby on Rails ship with a very useful application credentials layer that allows you to store private keys and other information in a fully encrypted manner.

Unfortunately, the documentation around the use of such tech isn't the best. This guide is my attempt to expose as much as I can around credentials and how you can make use of them in your Ruby on Rails applications today.

This guide is a tutorial on Ruby on Rails application credentials / secret keys and how to make the most use of them in your own applications.
