HashiCorp archives the Boundary open source repo

HashiCorp has archived the open source Boundary repository, marking the end of active development for the Community Edition (CE). The archive was finalized on October 8, 2026, with the repository now read-only and closed to new contributions. Future development efforts will concentrate on HCP Boundary and Boundary Enterprise, which offer enhanced capabilities such as human and agentic access.

The archived Boundary CE repository is still accessible for reference, but it will not receive updates, including new releases, maintenance, bug fixes, or security patches. Teams utilizing Boundary CE are advised to assess whether the software aligns with their operational, security, and compliance needs. For reliable Boundary features, including enterprise-grade governance, compliance, session recording, and comprehensive support, HashiCorp recommends evaluating HCP Boundary or Boundary Enterprise.

Boundary technology facilitates identity-based access management for dynamic infrastructure environments.
