Use cases
Use cases
The services, envs and keys below are invented to show how the tool behaves.
One key drifted
A value was changed on the target but not in the source. The target shows drift and the key says which one.
Sample (made up)
- svc-a · prod · vercel: drift
- ENV_VAR_TWO: drift
- ENV_VAR_ONE: match
A key missing from the source
The 1Password item does not hold a key that env-sync compared. The key shows missing, so the target shows drift.
Sample (made up)
- svc-b · prod · caprover: drift
- ENV_VAR_EXTRA: missing
A target that went quiet
The target’s last ok snapshot is older than the stale threshold. It is flagged stale even though its last known keys all matched.
Sample (made up)
- svc-c · staging · vercel: match, stale
- last synced 30 hours ago
Know which secrets drifted, without seeing them
env-sync-viewer is self-hosted: you run the collector and the viewer in your own infrastructure. Access to the repository is by request.
