HashiCorp
FeaturedInfrastructure enables innovation.
Founded in 2012 by Mitchell Hashimoto and Armon Dadgar in San Francisco, HashiCorp was built on the conviction that cloud infrastructure should be managed as code, not through manual processes and point-and-click interfaces. The company created some of the most widely used open-source infrastructure tools in the world including Terraform for infrastructure provisioning, Vault for secrets management, Consul for service networking, and Nomad for workload orchestration. HashiCorp went public on NASDAQ in December 2021 raising over $1.2 billion at a $14 billion valuation. In 2024, IBM announced the acquisition of HashiCorp for $6.4 billion, bringing its tools into IBM's enterprise infrastructure portfolio. HashiCorp's Terraform has become the industry standard for infrastructure as code, used by over 1 million developers worldwide.
