# Configuration



- [Beyond Org Config & Secrets: Are You Doing It Right?](https://blog.beyondthecloud.dev/blog/beyond-org-config-secrets-are-you-doing-it-right.md): A comprehensive guide to configuration and secrets management in Salesforce: where to store sensitive data, why Custom Metadata Types and Custom Settings fall short for secrets, and how Named Credentials provide encrypted callout authentication. It also covers CI/CD automation for multi-environment config management and introduces the managed package pattern, using protected Custom Settings and CMDT inside a namespace, as the only mechanism on the platform that makes stored values truly invisible to the subscriber org.
