I’ve done a lot of good work with Hashicorp tools for many many years. But I’m extremely excited to move off Terraform, Nomad, Consul, Vault and the rest.
Actually quite happy with the future: CDK, CDK8s… it’s a bit of a mess currently but at least there’s a strong path forward and tons of innovation.
Yes, I think the Terraform license change is an opportunity. For me, something like Crossplane is much more attractive than going to a community fork of Terraform. Cloud Native, continuous reconciliation loop, all the k8s tooling available, an API (k8s) out of the box and an open governance as it is a CNCF project.
If this was Threads, Twitter / X, Instagram, etc the entire news world would be reporting in less than 10 mins if it was down for just 5 mins.
It looks like you can get away with it and let your service(s) have downtime for more than 5 hours if little to no-one is paying for your service or there are almost no users using it.
Their stock price being 66% down since IPO, also suggests that not only Hashicorp's valuation was extremely inflated, but it also seems that they are in (actual) decline.
Their tech seemed good initially so i thought everyone going to need the multi cloud stuff.
But after using it and encountering how brittle it was, and easily our nomad cluster would go down without any way to recover, even though the major point of a cluster is high availability, I can see that the tech is just very brittle and the value of the stock doesn’t surprise me.
I’m relieved that I followed my instinct and chose not to deploy it in production even after we invested so much money in setting it up.
I really hope I’m wrong about the stock and the tech.
I like the founders and they’re clearly very smart but the company has grown too fast and likely let quality go down.
