From a first look this is really exciting. And cool to see you here on HN! I live your positioning and how you’re first and foremost building FOSS software and tools that you leverage on, as opposed to building a commercial offering that you then release software for. It’s a vital distinction that sets you apart from eg Google.

Let’s say you have an org that’s doing the whole Consul/Nomad/Vault thing, and starting to have their Nomad jobs using Consul Connect (and it’s proxies/gateways for external).. that’s already a proxy sidecar used for all service ports. How does Boundary fit here? Is it put before/after Connect, is the plan to integrate them, or are they supposed to not be used together?

In an immediate sense you could have targets point to services handled by Connect, so you'd have client -> Boundary worker -> local Connect entrypoint -> end service.

We'll be looking more closely at other integration possibilities going forward!
