Comparison
Kevorax vs Infisical
Infisical is impressive open-source software with 16,000+ GitHub stars. But self-hosting requires Docker or Kubernetes — a 1-3 hour setup just to get started.
The self-hosting reality
Infisical's self-hosted setup requires:
- •Docker or Kubernetes cluster
- •PostgreSQL database
- •Redis for caching
- •1-3 hours of setup time
- •Ongoing maintenance and updates
For a solo developer, that's a full afternoon before you store your first secret.
