Feature request: support retrieving a batch of secrets in Parameters

[dreamorosi]

Use case

Several months ago Secrets Manager launched the ability to retrieve a batch of secrets a single API (link).

Similar to what we do for SSM Parameters, we should allow customers to retrieve multiple secrets via a new getSecretsByName() helper function and getMultiple() method on the SecretsProvider class.

Solution/User Experience

Needs investigation.

The original issue in Python (aws-powertools/powertools-lambda-python#4200) suggests we should follow a similar experience to the getParametersByName() method in the SSMProvider, however I am still unsure how that would look like, and I'd like to understand if we could instead just extend the getMultiple() method in the SecretsProvider.

Alternative solutions

Acknowledgment

• This feature request meets Powertools for AWS Lambda (TypeScript) Tenets
• Should this be considered in other Powertools for AWS Lambda languages? i.e. Python, Java, and .NET

Hi @VatsalGoel3, sorry I missed this comment.

I think we need some more time to clarify the issue and research the implementation before it's ready to be worked on.
