Product Overview

One Platform for Configuration and Trust

Kiwi Vault is a centralized configuration and trust management platform for distributed applications and microservices. It enables organizations to securely manage application configuration, environment-specific settings, instance-level overrides, and trusted certificate authorities from a single, highly available service.

Designed for cloud-native, hybrid, and on-premises environments, Kiwi Vault eliminates configuration sprawl, simplifies operational management, and provides a secure foundation for modern distributed systems.

Unlike traditional configuration stores, Kiwi Vault also supports centralized management and distribution of application-specific CA certificates — making it easy to establish trust for self-signed TLS deployments and mutual TLS (mTLS) communication within trusted enterprise environments.

Applications access configuration through lightweight client libraries using a simple connection-string-based approach, allowing developers to focus on business logic instead of infrastructure concerns.

The Problem Today
  • Configuration files duplicated across every service and environment
  • No audit trail — nobody knows who changed what, or when
  • Rolling back a bad config requires a redeployment or manual intervention
  • CA certificate management is manual, error-prone, and often tribal knowledge
  • Secrets and plain config mixed in the same environment variables
With Kiwi Vault
  • One source of truth for all configuration across every environment
  • Full audit trail — every change logged with actor, timestamp, and diff
  • One-operation rollback to any prior configuration state
  • Centralized CA certificate distribution for mTLS architectures
  • Secrets stored separately with encryption at rest and access isolation

Key Features

Everything required to manage configuration and trust at enterprise scale.

Hierarchical Configuration

Organize settings in a namespace hierarchy — global defaults, environment-level overrides, and instance-specific values. Inheritance resolution is explicit and observable at every level.

  • Application-level, environment-level, and instance-specific overrides
  • Dynamic retrieval — no hardcoded values in applications
  • Override Audit visibility at every configuration lookup

CA Certificate Management

Centrally manage and distribute application-specific Certificate Authority certificates. Establish and maintain trust for self-signed TLS deployments and mutual TLS architectures without manual certificate distribution.

  • Simplifies self-signed TLS certificate deployment
  • First-class mTLS support for service-to-service authentication
  • Centralized lifecycle management for enterprise CA certificates

Version History & Rollback

Every configuration change is versioned. Roll back to any previous state — for a single key or an entire namespace — with a single operation. Full audit trail with actor, timestamp, previous value, and new value.

  • Full version history for every key and namespace
  • Roll back to any prior state in a single operation
  • Complete audit trail for compliance requirements

Security & Access Controls

Granular read/write permissions per namespace, team, and service identity. Secrets stored separately from plain configuration with encryption at rest and appropriate access isolation.

  • Granular access controls per namespace, team, and service
  • Separate secrets management with encryption at rest
  • Connection-string-based integration requiring minimal changes

Real-Time Change Notifications

Services subscribe to configuration namespaces and receive push notifications when values change — enabling hot reload without restart. Configuration updates propagate immediately across all connected services.

  • Push notifications on configuration change
  • Hot reload — no application restart required
  • Zero-code or low-code configuration updates

High Availability & Encryption

Fault-tolerant architecture built for mission-critical workloads. All stored configuration data is encrypted at rest. Optimized for low-latency access and scalable enterprise deployments across development, testing, staging, and production environments.

  • Fault-tolerant, high availability architecture
  • Encryption of stored data at rest
  • Consistent management across all deployment environments

Native SDK Support

Language-agnostic architecture with first-class client libraries.

.NET

Native integration with kiwi-config from Kiwi Foundation. Zero-friction migration from local config files.

Java

Connection-string-based integration with standard Java configuration patterns.

Go

Lightweight Go client for high-performance microservices and container-native workloads.

Python

Simple Python SDK for data services, ML pipelines, and scripting environments.

Rust

Low-overhead Rust client for performance-critical and systems-level services.

Node.js

Node.js client for backend APIs, serverless functions, and frontend infrastructure.

Business Benefits

Operational improvements that reach every team in the organization.

Eliminate Config Duplication

Remove duplicated configuration files scattered across services and environments.

Reduce Operational Complexity

Fewer deployment errors and less manual coordination between teams.

Centralize Trust Management

Improve security by managing all CA certificates and secrets in one place.

Enterprise Governance

Enable consistent configuration governance and policy enforcement at scale.

Faster Provisioning

Accelerate application deployment and environment provisioning through centralized config.

Zero-Recompile Updates

Support zero-code configuration updates without application recompilation or restart.

Certificate Lifecycle Simplified

Simplify certificate lifecycle management in private and hybrid infrastructures.

High Reliability

Increase reliability through centralized management and high availability architecture.

Developer Productivity

Intuitive APIs and language-native SDKs reduce integration effort and cognitive load.

Lower Maintenance Cost

Reduce costs associated with decentralized, manual configuration management.

Ideal Use Cases

  • Microservices platforms and containerized workloads
  • Enterprise applications requiring centralized config governance
  • Kubernetes and Docker-based deployments
  • Internal developer platforms needing a config control plane
  • Financial services, healthcare, and regulated environments
  • Manufacturing and industrial platforms
  • Government and compliance-driven deployments
  • Hybrid cloud and on-premises environments
  • Multi-environment SaaS applications
  • Service-to-service authentication using mTLS
  • Distributed systems requiring consistent cross-environment config
  • Legacy enterprise applications undergoing modernization

What Sets Kiwi Vault Apart

Configuration + Trust in One Platform

Combines hierarchical configuration management with enterprise CA certificate distribution — no separate tools required.

Instance-Level Customization

Supports fine-grained, instance-specific overrides alongside global defaults — not just environment-level configuration.

Heterogeneous Stack Integration

Designed to integrate seamlessly into heterogeneous technology stacks without requiring architectural changes.

Language-Agnostic First-Class SDKs

Native client libraries for .NET, Java, Go, Python, Rust, and Node.js — not afterthoughts, but first-class implementations.

Enterprise-Ready by Default

High availability, encryption at rest, audit logging, and granular access controls are built into the platform, not add-ons.

Lightweight Developer Integration

Connection-string-based integration minimizes developer effort — applications need no knowledge of the underlying infrastructure.
