It might be a very basic question to ask .But as I am very naive to AWS now and has been basically a frontend developer I would like to have some guidance related to fetching secrets from AWS secret manager from a react application.

  1. Can we connect frontend React application directly to AWS secret manager or we should have a node application in the middle to fetch secret from AWS secret manger? 2.If we can connect front end application directly to AWS is there any tutorial or steps that I can follow?

    Yes, but you need credentials to do that and you don't want credentials statically in your web page. So you need to get credentials dynamically. You can do that with a server (e.g. Node.js) or you may want to consider AWS Amplify. – jarmod Nov 03 '20 at 19:03

    @JuanMendes this is in a very priliminary stage of my project and I am trying to gather understanding about the feasibility and how to achieve this before coding and hence the question does not have any code in it. – Payel Dutta Nov 03 '20 at 19:18
  • That's why it's not a good fit :) – Ruan Mendes Nov 03 '20 at 19:57
  • @PayelDutta, how did you use secret manager in your react client? I am having the same requirement. – Deeksha Pandit Mar 15 '22 at 11:29
