Happy Nomad + Consul + Terraform user here.

Thanks a lot for the great products, but please give us managed Nomad already. Or even better: a Heroku like app platform. I want to give you money, but I really dislike your companies' enterprise offerings.

BTW I believe there's a great opportunity for Hashicorp right now. Cloud providers are good at selling building blocks, but are terrible at selling a vision of how you should build your applications. On the other hand, low code / enterprise application platforms are a disgrace as always. IMO a coherent stack of managed Nomad + Consul + Vault could provide a solid middle ground for those who want to build apps without the burden of managing K8s or navigating through the incomprehensible maze of products offered by public clouds.

Hello! Thank you :)

(1) HCP Nomad is coming. We announced HCP Consul public beta and HCP Vault private beta today (on AWS, more clouds later). HCP Nomad is planned but not quite ready to talk about beyond that yet. That is "managed Nomad."

(2) Re: Heroku-like app platform. Watch tomorrow's keynote or catch up on our announcements tomorrow. It isn't this, but I think it'll give you an idea of the vision we're heading towards and that is relevant to this idea.

So Hashiku? :)

Seriously Heroku seems to have stopped innovating. I wonder how much is Heroku worth now.
