Production-Grade Terraform Patterns
Welcome to the Production-Grade Terraform Patterns series.
In this 6-part guide, I walk through the journey of maturing your infrastructure from simple scripts to a robust, self-updating platform.
What you will learn: #
- Part 1: How to structure repositories using the Split-Repo Pattern to isolate failure domains.
- Part 2: How to write “Production-Ready” modules that are strictly versioned, validated, and tested.
- Part 3: How to automate the entire release lifecycle (Changelogs, Tags) using Release Please.
- Part 4: Why you should favor secure Git Tags over Private Registries for internal code.
- Part 5: How to automate dependency upgrades across 100+ environments using Renovate.
- Part 6: How to scale execution securely using TACOS (Atlantis, Digger).
Part 3: Automating Semantic Versioning with Release Please
