💡Tip: Why not use dotnet user-secrets for local dev team?

The question arises often, but it’s not team-friendly in an active codebase.

Why?

• When secrets are added or altered, everyone must be informed of new keys/values.

• Onboarding means transferring user secrets machine to machine.

The solution? Azure Key Vault for local development.

• It informs the entire team when a secret is added/changed.

• Onboarding is simply adding the new member to the Azure Active Directory Group with Azure Key Vault access.

Problem solved!
