On: Supabase Vault

> Vault is a thin usability-layer on top of pgsodium.

Cloudflare and Duck Duck Go also add a bunch of names to routine things that already exist. It's better to just not name it.

Sorry, can you help clarify your comment? Do you mean that it's better to not call this "Supabase Vault" and just say "Secrets Management available in Supabase" ?

I figured there would be a comment like the one to which you responded, but didn't expect it to be the bottom one, downvoted to obscurity. Vault is an already heavily used word, with Hashicorp being the big player with it, and Ansible a second. There are a lot of words that could be used, and it is kind of a shame that one already associated to a big player in the secrets management game was the one used here.

That’s actually _why_ we used it - the name is well-used enough that people understand what it means and what it does without further description.

That said, this is good feedback - we’ll reconsider the name.

(If anyone else has an opinion for/against, let us know - the reason for this pre-release is specifically to get feedback)

For what it's worth, I think keeping it named vault helps exactly with your intent, it signals that the product is a secrets management product (or something used to store extremely valuable data)
