HashiCorp, Inc. is a software company that provides tools and services for cloud infrastructure automation. The company was founded in 2012 by Mitchell Hashimoto and Armon Dadgar and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. HashiCorp's tools help organizations automate the deployment and management of their cloud infrastructure, making it faster, more secure, and easier to manage.
HashiCorp's flagship product is called Terraform, which is an open-source infrastructure as code tool. Terraform allows users to write configuration files that describe the infrastructure they want to create and then automates the process of creating that infrastructure on various cloud platforms, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. HashiCorp also provides other tools, such as Consul for service networking and Vault for secrets management.
The company has raised over $350 million in funding since its founding, including a $175 million funding round in 2020 that valued the company at $5.1 billion. However, the company has not yet gone public.
HashiCorp's customers include a wide range of organizations, from small startups to large enterprises. The company's tools help these organizations automate their cloud infrastructure and improve their overall security and operational efficiency. HashiCorp has a strong focus on open-source software and has built a community of contributors around its products.
In addition to its commercial offerings, HashiCorp also provides a free, open-source version of its tools. This has helped the company build a large user base and community of contributors. The company has also established partnerships with other cloud infrastructure providers, such as Microsoft and Google, to integrate its tools with their platforms.
