Build a self-service internal developer platform
summary
Builds a small browser game called Termino by publishing two Terraform modules and letting HCP Waypoint create workspaces and deploy them via HCP Terraform. Deploys a single EC2 web server and a separate EC2 Redis instance, writes Redis credentials into Vault Secrets, and wires the web app to read them. Registers a template, an add‑on, and a custom action that sends an HTTP PUT to set the high score — the demo provisions, connects, and persists scores.
