Motivation

To enable rapid deployment of the infrastructure layer, we use Terraform. This open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool from HashiCorp automtaes everything from server and database management to networking and security configurations.

Here’s why we value Terraform:

• Consistency: Terraform deploys infrastructure consistently across environments by defining it as code, eliminating manual configuration errors.
• Version control: Infrastructure configurations can be versioned like software code, facilitating change tracking, collaboration, and rollback.
• Automation: Terraform automates the infrastructure lifecycle, reducing the time and effort needed for provisioning, scaling, and decommissioning.
• Scalability: Terraform scales infrastructure up or down based on demand, ensuring efficient and cost-effective resource use
