Heavy overlap in functionality between "infisical secrets agent-proxy" and agent-vault

[paulcdejean]

agent-vault's readme should probably acknowledge the existence of infisical secrets agent-proxy and maybe discuss similarities and differences.

Often when companies have overlapping products like this, you're presented with a free choice and they insist it doesn't matter, then a year after you choose you learn you chose wrong.

Hi @paulcdejean, apologies for the readme not being up to date. Agent Proxy is launching publicly soon (this Thursday), and that's when we'll make it more visible here.

We realized that the experience of managing secrets in Agent Vault is very limited, and hence users prefer to use a secrets management solution like Infisical to pull their secrets from. This is possible today by having your vault use Infisical as the credential store. However, you then have to manage your secrets on Infisical and your proxy settings on Agent Vault.

Agent Proxy is a more native offering, built inside Infisical itself, so everything stays in one place along with the rest of what Infisical gives you around your secrets.

@saifsmailbox98 if you're launching this on Thursday, does that mean the terraform provider will have the ability to manage proxied services by then, or are people supposed to manage that via clicky clicky?
