Case Study: HashiCorp achieves simpler cloud workflows and stronger security with GitHub

HashiCorp Makes Cloud Computing Easier with a Little Help from GitHub

HashiCorp, a cloud software company that helps teams automate infrastructure with products like Terraform, Vault, Nomad, and Consul, relied heavily on GitHub as part of its developer-first workflow. As the company grew, it needed a platform that could support thousands of repositories, open source collaboration, onboarding, and security workflows all in one place.

Using GitHub, including GitHub Actions, Dependabot, GitHub Advanced Security, Secret Scanning, and CodeQL, HashiCorp automated testing, security checks, and build processes across its software delivery lifecycle. GitHub helped HashiCorp speed up security capabilities that would otherwise have taken six to nine months to implement, while also reducing process complexity and making security and development work much easier to manage.
