What Hacker News says

This looks great! But after looking through the docs and Github, I don't know what the architecture is beyond there is a CLI and a browser UI that interact with some sort of central service. The main thing stopping me from using Vault is that it can become a central point of failure. If the cloud provider secret managers are down then its likely that something else in the cloud is having major issues as well so from an uptime perspective and easy of operations that has always seemed a safe approach, although the pricing is kind of outrageous. But just storing (e2e encrypted, etc) in cloud object storage is also an option. Berglass for example gives the option of storing in the secret manager or in cloud storage directly: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/berglas
