06/22/2020, 1:25 PMHashicorp has a bunch of really, useful services (listed above by Nikhil). But you had to self-host them yourself.
Hashicorp's cloud now gives you managed/PaaS versions of those services.

06/22/2020, 1:28 PMAlso, for a while, Hashicorp, Elastic, Mongo, Redis etc have been battling AWS and other cloud provider who're creating their own forked offerings.
So all of these have now started their own (mini) cloud providers with hosted/PaaS offerings.
