Running across multiple clouds used to be a nightmare until we standardised on HashiCorp's Terraform. One consistent workflow now provisions everything, and combined with Vault for secrets our deployments are repeatable and secure. The tooling is mature, well-supported, and has paid for itself many times over.
Consistent multi-cloud workflow
We adopted HashiCorp Vault for secrets management and it has been outstanding. Dynamic database credentials, automatic rotation, and tight access policies gave our security team exactly what they needed. Pairing it with Terraform across our stack made our whole platform far more robust and auditable.
Excellent secrets management and rotation
We've relied on HashiCorp's Terraform and Vault for years and the technology remains excellent. The recent licensing direction made our team genuinely reconsider our long-term reliance and evaluate alternatives, which was an unwelcome distraction. The tools are still great, but the trust took a knock.
Mature, capable tooling
Licensing changes created uncertainty
HashiCorp's Terraform let us manage our entire cloud infrastructure as code, so environments are now reproducible and reviewable in pull requests. The ecosystem of providers covers everything we use. My only minor frustration is that state file management across teams still needs careful discipline.
Reproducible IaC, huge provider ecosystem
State management needs care
HashiCorp's tooling around Terraform and Vault is genuinely industry-leading and has standardised how we ship infrastructure. The products are excellent. I'd give five stars if the documentation didn't sometimes assume you're already an expert, leaving newcomers on our team to learn through trial and error.
