# Veles

> Veles is a Salesforce-native managed package for managing configuration (API keys, endpoints, environment variables) across Production, Sandboxes and Scratch Orgs, built for Salesforce admins, developers and teams running many environments.

Site: https://veles.beyondthecloud.dev

## What it does

- Typed config entries: named config entries with typed fields (Text, Long Text, Number, Boolean, Date, Datetime), validated automatically.
- Different values per environment: assign values to Production, each Sandbox and each Scratch Org. Veles detects the current environment and returns the correct value.
- Environment Groups: group environments that share configuration, define values once at group level, override per environment when needed.
- One interface for all environments: select a configuration, pick an environment, see the values. No jumping between Setup pages.
- Full environment inventory: see every environment, add new ones, assign them to groups, track which values are set.
- Encrypted export and import: choose which configurations to export (single entries or everything), encrypt with a password (AES-256), import into the target org. Failed imports roll back automatically.
- Developer API: typed Apex methods for every data type, for example `btcveles.VelesConfig.forConfig('Mulesoft').getText('API Key');`. Flow invocable actions for no-code access. Built-in caching so config values are queried once per request.

## Security and architecture

- 100% on-platform. No external servers, no external calls, no data stored outside Salesforce.
- Sharing locked down, private by default. Admin-only access via a dedicated permission set.
- Protected custom settings for sensitive values.
- Safe queries, no injection risk.
- AES-256 encryption for export and import.
- Distributed as a managed package.

## Compared with Custom Metadata and Custom Settings

Custom Metadata and Custom Settings do not provide environment-specific values, encrypted export, environment grouping, a central management UI, Flow integration, typed Apex methods, secure migration between orgs, or built-in access control. Veles provides all of these in one managed package.

## Who it is for

- Integration-heavy organizations managing keys, endpoints and tokens for services like Mulesoft, Stripe or Twilio.
- Multi-sandbox development teams that need one source of truth across many orgs.
- Regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, government) that need encrypted config transfer and controlled access to sensitive values.
- Salesforce admins moving config between orgs during releases without spreadsheets or manual re-entry.
- AppExchange partners (ISVs) managing configuration across development, packaging and subscriber orgs.

## What Veles is not

- Not an external secrets vault.
- Not a CI/CD platform.
- Not a DevOps orchestration tool.
- Does not store data outside Salesforce.
