I also tried Parseable which initially seemed simpler, though in the end it generated excessive traffic to and from S3 for my use case, with relatively slow query performance. So what are our options for small environments,…

However there are situations where you might prefer using the Terraform registry protocol, mainly for the ability to use version constraints : module 'release' { source =…

As a heavy user of Terragrunt , I rely a lot on small, focused Terraform modules that can be combined into larger infrastructure pieces externally (called units in the Terragrunt world). If you use pure Terraform/OpenTofu, you…

Here’s the gist : this is an engineering blog, building blocks make sense as a playful concept. Here’s the twist : this is a personal blog, the logo should contain a bit of myself. As for the solution: let’s…
