Doppler is a secrets management platform that eliminates .env files by syncing environment variables and secrets to any environment — local development, CI/CD, cloud, and containers. Unlike AWS Secrets Manager (complex to use), Doppler provides a developer-friendly CLI and dashboard for managing secrets. Used by over 100,000 developers, Doppler prevents secrets from being committed to Git and ensures every environment uses the right values.
