Managing our AWS resources efficiently has been transformative. With Terraform, every aspect of our AWS environment—from domain configuration to ECS fleet management—is handled through code. This eliminates the need for manual changes in the AWS console, reducing the risk of human error. Every infrastructure change undergoes mandatory code reviews and terraform plan verification, ensuring that once a pull request is approved and merged, the changes are automatically propagated to AWS. This process democratizes infra management across our team, removing bottlenecks and enabling faster iteration cycles.
Gone are the days of managing scripts to manage docker instances and configure files in /etc on remote servers. Terraform inaugurated infrastructure as code and since then it's been able to be versioned and integrated into CICD and production workflows like other software. An amazing achievement.
