Terraform

Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code tool. Servers, databases, networks and DNS records are described in configuration files, stored in version control and created or changed automatically, so environments can be reviewed, repeated and rebuilt reliably.

How we use Terraform

• Defining AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and DigitalOcean infrastructure as code.
• Creating identical staging and production environments.
• Reviewing infrastructure changes before they are applied, like code reviews.
• Documenting your setup so it no longer depends on one person’s memory.

When Terraform is the right choice

Terraform pays off when infrastructure is more than a single server, when several environments must match, or when you need an audit trail of changes. For a simple hosting setup, manual configuration with good documentation may be enough.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if someone changes the server by hand?

Terraform detects the difference on its next run and shows it, so changes can be brought back into code or reverted. That keeps environments consistent.

Does Terraform work with several cloud providers?

Yes. It supports AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Cloudflare and many other services from the same configuration language.

Do we need Terraform for a single server?

Not necessarily. For one server, careful documentation may be enough. Terraform becomes valuable as soon as you have several environments or cloud services.
