HashiCorp Vault Secrets is going away. What now?

HashiCorp Vault Secrets (HVS) is set to shut down on July 1, 2026, prompting users to consider migration options such as HashiCorp's recommended HCP Vault Dedicated (HVD) or alternatives like Doppler. HVD, a single-tenant Vault Enterprise cluster, requires significant operational changes, including custom HCL policies and manual configuration of authentication methods, which may not be ideal for teams accustomed to HVS's simplicity and developer-friendly experience. While HVD offers advanced features like dynamic secrets engines and Hardware Security Module (HSM) auto-unseal, its higher operational overhead and costs could be prohibitive for teams not needing these enterprise features. In contrast, Doppler provides a similar SaaS-hosted, developer-friendly experience as HVS, with seamless integration to native sync destinations and a more gradual pricing model, making it a compelling alternative for teams seeking to maintain a straightforward workflow. Migration to Doppler involves exporting and importing secrets, creating corresponding projects and configs, and updating integrations, which can be completed efficiently for small to mid-sized teams, ensuring continuity of their existing secrets management processes.
