The challenge

Beck's Hybrids, an agriculture and seed company, needed to centralize secrets across on-prem Kubernetes, Linux and Windows servers spanning about 40 projects. Developer onboarding required roughly an hour of setup, and the team spent significant time each month managing secrets and configuration.

The solution

Beck's Hybrids adopted Doppler with its Kubernetes operator and auto-restart, role-based access and custom roles, automated credential rotation, dynamic secrets injection and the doppler run command to replace local .env files.

With Doppler, we don't have to worry about managing secrets. It's as simple as running a command.
