Why figgy
Simple & secure config and secret management#
As your cloud footprint grows, so do the configurations you need to manage your applications. Figgy is a framework for simple, secure, and resilient config management in AWS. The best part? No new servers to deploy, upgrade, and patch. No complex software to learn. Follow Figgy’s laid-out path for config management. It’s AWS native, compatible with all AWS services, and follows AWS best practices. Let Figgy help you get it right from the start.
Prevent downtime due to config mismanagement#
Figgy provides a suite of utilities that link your code to your configs. Detect and remedy misconfigurations before deployment rather than scrambling after the alarm bells are going off.
Let the secret owners own the secrets#
Figgy establishes a framework for teams of secret owners to securely track, manage, and rotate their secrets in their team’s secure space. From that space they can share secrets directly with the applications that need them -- without going through a middle-man. No more lastpass, one-time urls, secrets sent over Slack, email, encrypted files, or any of those annoying secret management hoops. In a few weeks, when your coworker “Bill” finds new employment, don’t ask yourself, “What secrets passed through Bill that we need to rotate now?”
Easily manage and maintain least privilege#
Figgy makes it easy to give both users and applications, the exact amount of access they need and nothing more. Figgy's primary features are designed to make it easy to scalably maintain and enforce least privilege. By following Figgy best practicies you can easiliy maintain appropriate access for users and services while keeping your IAM policies short and sweet.
Maximum visiblity & resiliency#
Figgy maintains a history of every event that has ever occurred in your configuration store since the day you installed Figgy. Know what happened, where, when, and by who. Then, roll back any configuration, or hierarchy of configurations, to any point-in-time in the past, to the second.
A tool everyone can get behind#
Perhaps the question isn't "Why Figgy", it's "Why not?". Figgy is free, opensource, and principally designed with a focus on the ideal user experience regardless if you're a developer, a member of the DevOps or Security teams, a database administrator, or something else.
