I’m using Next.js to build a backend API, and I’m facing an issue where my secrets are not getting updated. I have a getSecrets function in my utils folder that retrieves secrets, but it seems to always return outdated values. This problem persists both in development and production environments.

import { Env_Keys } from "@/types/customType";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";
import { SecretClient } from "@azure/keyvault-secrets";

export const dynamic = "force-dynamic";

const credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
const vaultName = "";
const url = `https://${vaultName}.vault.azure.net`;
const client = new SecretClient(url, credential);

let secrets: Env_Keys | null = null;

async function getSecrets() {
  if (secrets === null) {
    const secretNames = [
      "Test",
    ];

    const secretPromises = secretNames.map((secretName) =>
      client
        .getSecret(secretName)
        .then((secret) => ({ [secretName]: secret.value }))
        .catch((error) => {
          console.error(`Failed to get secret ${secretName}: ${error}`);
          return { [secretName]: null };
        })
    );

    const secretObjects = await Promise.all(secretPromises);

    secrets = Object.assign({}, ...secretObjects);
  }

  return secrets;
}

export default getSecrets;

import getSecrets from "@/lib/read-keyvaults-secrets";
import { NextResponse } from "next/server";

export const dynamic = "force-dynamic";

export async function GET() {
  try {
    const secrets = await getSecrets();
    return NextResponse.json(
      {
        secrets: {
          ...secrets,
          date: new Date().toISOString(),
        },
      },
      {
        status: 200,
        statusText: "OK",
      }
    );
  } catch (error) {
    return NextResponse.json(
      {
        error: "An error occurred while fetching the secrets",
      },
      {
        status: 500,
        statusText: "Internal Server Error",
      }
    );
  }
}

I am getting outdated value of Test secret.
Could there be caching issues or something specific to Next.js that I’m missing?
