HashiCorp has launched the HashiCorp Community Portal, a single source for its community to learn, share, and discuss HashiCorp products. The portal includes a new discussion forum, video content, product guides, local in-person events, and more. This move aims to provide a unified community space where individuals can engage with each other in different ways at different moments. The company is also shutting down its Gitter channels and redirecting the inbound communication to the forum, as it found that real-time chat introduced unhealthy expectations and demands on many people. The new discussion forums will be staffed with HashiCorp employees and provide a better long-form way to answer questions and link to historical solutions.
