" summary

Kiwi.com replaces ad hoc cloud clicks and shared accounts with Terraform modules for centralized GCP provisioning, injects cookiecutter bootstrapped repos and GitLab CI templates so new services get consistent manifests and CI without writing jobs, and issues short‑lived secrets via Vault dynamic credentials used by CI runners. A homegrown index called zoo scans repos hourly, files issues and can auto‑patch some problems. Result: reproducible infrastructure, far less ops toil and predictable metrics, with remaining pains around local dev ergonomics and companywide adoption.
