Terraform for Serverless. Best Practices. Lessons Learned.
summary
Shows concrete practices: split Terraform into one config per service, use git diff selective runs to execute only changed components and cut workloads by ~80%, replace local provisioners and data scripts with avoid local provisioners, move backends to remote S3 state, and use orchestration (Atlantis, Terraform Enterprise or Tara hub CLI and UI) instead of ad hoc scripts. A real project shrinks from 34,000 to ~22,000 lines — 30% code reduction — and CI demos run with Jenkins and AWS pipelines though some runs fail during iteration.
