security - Best practises to save credentials

Question

Basically, this moment I have so many username/password and api keys provided by vendors. Some api keys are generated dynamically and persisted somewhere (For example in RDBMS or in local file).

What is the best way to save these kind of sensitive information securely ? Maybe there are some projects (Open source will be ideal), which I can setup on my server and fetch username/password/api keys using REST API or something like that. I need my credentials to be in a secure place (Also flexible layer to access on it) and not in flat files neither in RDBMS/.env files.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks !
