Overview

Our infrastructure is managed as code using Terraform. These guides capture a mix of industry best practices and organizational preferences developed over many years of working with Terraform across projects of all sizes — from early-stage startups to large enterprise environments.

Guides

• Project Structure — how we organize Terraform repositories, split root modules, and manage dependencies between them
• Module Design — principles for writing opinionated, reusable modules with sensible defaults and consistent tagging
• Testing — test levels, what to assert on, and how to write unit and integration tests using the native Terraform testing framework
