🛡️ Security Best Practices
Never Commit Keys
Do not store API keys in version control, public repositories, or frontend code.
Rotate Regularly
Revoke and regenerate keys every 90 days or immediately if compromised.
Restrict IP Access
Limit key usage to known server IPs to reduce exposure to unauthorized access.
Use Environment Variables
Store keys in `.env` files or cloud secret managers (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault).
