VaultSQL – Open-Source Zero-Trust SQL Workbench

VaultSQL is an open-source SQL workbench that enforces a zero-trust architecture, allowing developers and DBAs to query databases without ever exposing raw credentials or granting direct network access. It acts as a secure proxy, auditing every query and enforcing granular access controls, making it ideal for teams that need to balance developer productivity with strict security compliance. Its interesting because it reimagines the traditional database client as a security boundary, eliminating the need for VPNs or shared passwords while maintaining full SQL functionality.
