Get a Secrets Manager secret value using Java
In applications, you can retrieve your secrets by calling GetSecretValue
or BatchGetSecretValue
in any of the Amazon SDKs. However, we recommend that you cache your secret values by using client-side caching. Caching secrets improves speed and reduces your costs.
To connect to a database using the credentials in a secret, you can use the Secrets Manager SQL Connection drivers, which wrap the base JDBC driver. This also uses client-side caching, so it can reduce the cost for calling Secrets Manager APIs.
