Isn't it inefficient if my app makes a request every time it needs a secret?
The client SDK caches every secret and implements a 5-minute waiting period before re-requesting it. The waiting period can be controlled by
setting the cacheTTL parameter at the time of initializing the client.
Note: The exact parameter name may differ depending on the language.
