The former ish -- they relied on consul marketing that the hammer fit the square hole. Hashicorp has been pretty bad about marketing themselves as the right tool for any job, but they really only fit the narrowest of tasks before you find yourself needing an alternative or being compelled to buy a support contact. It's atlassian from Arkansas, just faster

  You seem to have cited exactly why I don't recommend my clients use a hashi stack, it seems like you've failed to make a point?

    > I have only positive things to say about every HashiCorp product I've worked with since I got here. You're making a claim that Hashicorp sold themselves as being a solution for problems that they can't solve. But the comment from an actual Fly.io employee suggests that isn't the case. They're stating that Fly.io pushed the product beyond its limits, and they don't seem to be projecting any of that as being the fault of Hashicorp the company or of their products.

      You literally started with a quote that I didn't write. Hashi is dishonest and diminuative, providing products that generally should've been written off as a loss Edit: We're apparently not allowed to interact beyond three replies: I have no beef with any hashi product that is satisfactory. Your reply quotation explanation is unsatisfactory, you tried to quote something into a thread in the most irresponsible way you could - got called out for it and tried to top post to make it work. I have never had a client using a hashi stack that was happy about it: price, quality or reliability it's a failure I don't begrudge their work, their work is just subpar Quote that if you'd like, I won't interact with someone that starts with fraudulent misrepresentation.

        It’s a quote from the comment I linked, from the Fly.io employee, describing their opinion of Hashicorp products based on their usage of those products at Fly.io. It seems pretty clear you have beef with Hashicorp and with their products. It’s entirely possible you’re right. But your original claim, that I was replying to, attempted to answer a question about why Fly.io was experiencing issues with Hashicorp products. And your answer doesn’t line up with clear public statements from Fly.io staff.
