Property caching

[jcam]

Good day Sandeep!

I haven't tried it out yet, but I am curious. If I set this up and configured one of the mulesoft-provided connectors like a redis connector or an external http connection with authentication, would it only read the secret on API startup, or would it read them from the secrets manager on every request?

I could see it being very useful for it to maintain the secrets in an in-memory cache for a configurable amount of time with a refresh, to allow credential rotation without restart and without adding the round trip time of every request also calling out to secrets manager.

Thanks!

Hello Jesse,

The extension loads the secret from secrets manager on application start-up and not every request. I agree with you on credential rotation would be a useful feature I'll see if I get time to implement it. If you have time kindly feel free to enhance the extension.

Thanks a million for your question and suggestion! please give it a try and let me know if you face any issues. I would be glad to help!

Regards,
Sandeep
