Screenshot of HashiCorp archives the Boundary open source repo

HashiCorp has archived the Boundary Community Edition repository, marking it read-only as of October 8-9, 2026. Boundary CE is no longer under active development: the repository will not accept new issues, pull requests, or community contributions, and no new releases, maintenance updates, bug fixes, or security patches are planned. The repo remains available for reference and self-managed use and contains the complete source tree, documentation, CI configuration, SDKs, plugins, changelog and other assets accumulated across 5,126 commits; at the time of archiving it showed roughly 4.1K stars, 316 forks, 112 open issues and 40 open pull requests. Boundary provides identity-based access management for dynamic infrastructure.

Future Boundary development and support will concentrate on HCP Boundary and Boundary Enterprise, aimed at enterprise-grade human and agentic access capabilities. Teams continuing to run Boundary CE must assess whether it meets their operational, security, and compliance requirements. For production-grade governance, compliance, session recording, ongoing development and enterprise support, evaluate HCP Boundary or Boundary Enterprise as the supported path forward. The archived repository remains useful for historical reference and self-hosted deployments but is no longer a venue for active community-driven improvement.
