The Lens

By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.

Updated Mar 2026

Teller unifies them behind one CLI and one config file. It's a secrets multiplexer.

Map your environment variables to any combination of secret stores, and Teller fetches them at runtime. `teller run, node app.js` injects secrets into your process without them ever touching disk. It also syncs between providers: pull from Vault, push to AWS, or vice versa.

Apache 2.0, written in Rust. No paid tier, no cloud version.

The catch: Teller solves a real problem but it's a niche one. If you only use one secrets manager, you don't need it. Just use that provider's SDK. The value shows up when you have secrets scattered across 3+ providers and need one workflow. The community is small and the tool is emerging. Don't bet critical infrastructure on it without evaluating the bus factor. For a more established approach, look at how Infisical or HashiCorp Vault handle multi-source aggregation.

Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid

fully free

Fully open source under Apache 2.0. No paid tier, no hosted service, no enterprise edition.

It's a CLI tool. Install and use. The only cost is the underlying secret stores it connects to (AWS Secrets Manager, Vault, etc.), which have their own pricing.

Free. CLI tool that aggregates your existing secret stores.

What to do by team size

Solo
useful if you're already using multiple secret stores — overkill if you're just using .env files
Small team
good for standardizing secrets access across the team
Medium team
evaluate against Infisical for a more complete secrets platform
Large team
consider Infisical or Vault as the primary — Teller works as a bridge tool
