I’m building a web application using amazon S3 as storage, and I was wondering if it’s safe having the access key and the secret access key in plain text static string in the source code? I might be paranoid, but I’m not quite sure if I’m basically just handing out the access keys by doing this.
I’d put it in an app config or DB, that way you can change it if it gets compromised.
