Quick question:
Is there any added cost (in terms of pricing and/or latency) of using secrets in workers (ie Commands · Cloudflare Workers docs) vs plain variables.
Only while plain environment variables can be stored in the script, I wondered whether behind the scenes secrets uses KV … which has a cost per read in dollars and latency. So if I store 5 secrets, would that incur 5 KV reads on every script execution.
Thanks!
Anyone? 
Someone must be using secrets.
It doesn’t use KV so I don’t think it has any cost, but you can only have a very limited amount of secrets.
To avoid both limitations, I store an encryption key inside a secret and use that to unlock a KV that holds the actual secrets. To create the encrypted KV; I use a local function that uses the secret to encrypt and upload it. To avoid cost, the KV can be stored in cache and only be invalidated when needed.
Ah, that’s clever.
Thanks.
