OpenBao + DuoKey SD-HSM
Escape Vault Enterprise Licensing with OpenBao.
HashiCorp's switch to BSL 1.1 licensing and per-client-token pricing is creating unsustainable cost pressure for enterprises at scale. OpenBao, the Linux Foundation's open-source fork of Vault, eliminates licensing costs entirely while maintaining 100% API compatibility.
Combined with DuoKey SD-HSM MPC for auto-unseal and seal wrap, and DuoKey SD HSM (24/7 SaaS, EU-hosted), organizations save 60-80% on their secrets management TCO without changing a single line of application code.
From Vault to OpenBao in 2-4 weeks
Zero-Friction Migration Path
OpenBao maintains 100% API compatibility with HashiCorp Vault. Your applications only need a vault address change. Zero code modifications. DuoKey SD-HSM MPC replaces expensive HSM hardware for auto-unseal and seal wrap, with keys that never exist in plaintext. DuoKey SD HSM handles 24/7 operations, monitoring, upgrades, and incident response so your team focuses on using secrets, not managing infrastructure.
