Terraform Services
Terraform translates cloud infrastructure into version-controlled code that can be reviewed, tested, and applied automatically. We write Terraform that is organized, readable, and maintainable by the team that will own it after the initial engagement — not Terraform that only the person who wrote it can understand.
Capabilities
What we do with Terraform
Greenfield IaC
New Infrastructure Codebase
Writing a Terraform codebase from scratch for a project or organization: state backend setup, module structure, variable strategy, workspace or Terragrunt configuration, and CI/CD integration.
Console → code
Importing Existing Infrastructure
Importing manually created AWS resources into Terraform state so that they can be managed as code going forward, without recreating them and without the risk of accidental deletion during import.
Reusable components
Module Development
Writing Terraform modules for common infrastructure patterns — VPC, EKS cluster, RDS instance, IAM role — so that the same configuration is not duplicated across environments or teams.
Dev · staging · prod
Multi-environment Management
Environment separation using Terraform workspaces or Terragrunt with per-environment variable files, so that the same modules deploy to dev, staging, and production with environment-specific values.
Plan on PR · Apply on merge
CI/CD Integration
GitHub Actions or GitLab CI pipelines that run terraform plan on pull requests (with the plan output as a PR comment) and terraform apply on merge, with state locking and required approval for production.
Legacy Terraform cleanup
Audit and Refactor
Reviewing existing Terraform codebases for drift from best practices, missing state locking, hardcoded values, missing modules, and security issues — and refactoring systematically.
Our approach
Remote state from the start
Local Terraform state is a single-user liability. When a second person runs Terraform against the same infrastructure with different local state, things break in ways that are hard to debug. We configure S3 remote state with DynamoDB locking before writing the first resource definition.
Modules for repeated patterns
A VPC defined inline in a root module, duplicated for three environments, is three configurations to maintain and three places to make the same mistake. We extract common patterns into modules early so that environment differences are in variable values, not in duplicated resource blocks.
Plan before apply, always
Terraform plan shows what will be created, changed, or destroyed before anything happens. We treat the plan as a required review step, not a suggestion. For production changes, the plan runs in CI and posts to the pull request so that a human approves the change set before apply runs.
Sensitive values in Secrets Manager
Database passwords, API keys, and certificates referenced in Terraform should come from AWS Secrets Manager or SSM Parameter Store via data sources, not from tfvars files or environment variables visible in CI logs. We wire secret references correctly from the start.
All engineering work is done by US-based engineers. We do not offshore any development or architecture work.
