[👩‍💻 Documentation Request]: Call secrets from serverless function

[Mathr3e]

Summary

I was initially wondering what the difference was between:
a) the secrets availables from the advanced options at creation time of a serverless function
b) secrets created from the Secret Manager menu

Why is it needed?

It was quite difficult to find documentation on calling secrets from a serverless function.
I finally was able to figure out the difference between secret types.
I post my code here. It will probably be useful to someone else

Want to write this documentation yourself?

Yes

Hello @Mathr3e, thank you for sharing your code!
The Secrets Manager and Serverless Functions integration is currently under works as it has already been requested by several users. The feature should be live in the next months, and will supersede this documentation.

I would suggest not writing a dedicated documentation and keeping this issue open in the meantime so users can use your code until the feature goes live.

Thanks again for raising this issue!

Samy
