The datacenter of today is very different than the datacenter of yesterday, and we think the datacenter of tomorrow is just around the corner. We're writing software to take you all the way from yesterday to today, and then safely to tomorrow and beyond.
Physical, virtual, containers. Private cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud. IaaS, PaaS, SaaS. Windows, Linux, Mac. These are just some of the choices faced when architecting a datacenter of today. And the choice is not one or the other; instead, it is often a combination of many of these.
HashiCorp builds tools to ease these decisions by presenting solutions that span the gaps. Our tools manage both physical machines and virtual machines, Windows, and Linux, SaaS and IaaS, etc. And we're committed to supporting next-generation technologies, as well.
HashiCorp was founded and continues to be run by the primary authors of all our core technologies powering thousands of companies worldwide. We speak at conferences and write books related to application and infrastructure management.
All our foundational technologies are open source and developed openly, and have been since 2010.
The Tao of HashiCorp is the foundation that guides our vision, roadmap, and product design. As you evaluate using or contributing to HashiCorp's products, it may be valuable to understand the motivations and intentions for our work.
| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Full stack developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | We transitioned to HashiCorp Nomad due to its ease of use and integration with services like Envoy, despite a few UI issues. While Kubernetes offers community support and flexibility, Nomad's features meet our needs seamlessly in a mixed SaaS and on-premises environment. |
| Senior Software Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.0 | We use HashiCorp Nomad to deploy images, handle load balancing, and manage instances. Its valuable features include automatic reversion to stable images during deployment issues and easy instance scaling. However, the lack of notifications for jobs in bad states requires improvement. |
