pydantic-remote-config

Library that extends pydantic's BaseSettings model and integrates with various remote sources to fetch application secrets & configuration. Supported remote sources include:

• AWS Secrets Manager
• AWS SSM Parameter Store

Installation

For AWS services support:

$ pip install pydantic-remote-config[aws]

Usage

Simple Example

from pydantic_remote_config.aws import SecretsManager, SSMParam
from pydantic_remote_config import RemoteSettings

class Settings(RemoteSettings):
    param_1: str = SSMParam("/foo/bar/param")
    param_2: int = SSMParam("/foo/bar/num_param")
    secret: str = SecretsManager("test-secret")

settings = Settings()
print(settings)
#> Settings(param_1="remote param", param_2=101, secret="super secret code")

Templating strings

Strings can be templated using attributes that have been defined in the class and have corresponding environment variables set. This is useful in cases where a value is stored under a different path depending on the environment.

In this example if the environment variable ENV is set to dev, the /app-name/dev/db_password value will be retrieved.

from pydantic_remote_config.aws import SSMParam
from pydantic_remote_config import RemoteSettings


class Settings(RemoteSettings):
    env: str

    db_password: str = SSMParam("/app-name/{env}/db_password")

Accessing Nested Values

Key value pairs can be accessed by specifying the key arg. The example below illustrates an example where only the database password is retrieved from a json object.

SSM Param value for /app-name/database_info:

{
  "host": "foo.rds.aws.com",
  "port": 5432,
  "username": "db_user",
  "password": "super-secret-password"
}

Remote config implementation:

from pydantic_remote_config.aws import SSMParam
from pydantic_remote_config import RemoteSettings


class Settings(RemoteSettings):
    db_password: str = SSMParam("/app-name/database_info", key="password")

Class Configuration

Each remote source or class of sources has its own configuration class that can be set.

AWS

The AWS config class supports specifying an aws region to fetch configuration from. Note that this will override the default aws region configured on the machine or boto3.

from pydantic_remote_config.aws import SecretsManager, SSMParam
from pydantic_remote_config import RemoteSettings
from pydantic_remote_config.config import AWSConfig


class Settings(RemoteSettings):
    env: str
    param: str = SSMParam("/foo/bar")
    secret: dict = SecretsManager("test-secret")

    class Config:
        aws = AWSConfig(region='us-west-2')

MyPy Support

This library works with mypy!

Roadmap

This library aims to be the one stop shop for python applications that need to fetch configuration from remote sources regardless of source. Services that are supported or on the roadmap are listed below.

• AWS Secrets Manager
• AWS SSM Parameter Store
• Hashicorp Vault
• Hashicorp Consul
• Azure Key Vault

If you'd like to add a service to our roadmap, please open an issue and we'll be happy to get it added.
