Engineering Log: Computing dependency cones for Terraform resources

Engineering Log Terraform Stategraph Infrastructure

Built a tool that computes the dependency cone of any Terraform resource and extracts a minimal subset file containing only what you need.

Terragrunt was a band-aid. Stategraph fixes the wound.

Terraform Terragrunt State Management Infrastructure

Terragrunt solved Terraform's scaling problems by splitting state. Stategraph eliminates them by fixing the primitive itself.

The Terralith is correct. State fragmentation is the problem.

Terraform Infrastructure State Management Terralith Scalability

State fragmentation creates coordination problems Terraform can't see. The real issue isn't monolithic architecture—it's file-based storage.

Why we chose OCaml to write Stategraph

OCaml Type Systems Functional Programming Infrastructure Stategraph

When managing infrastructure, state corruption must be impossible. OCaml's type system catches entire categories of bugs at compile time.

Inside Terraform's DAG: How dependency ordering really works

Terraform DAG Infrastructure Technical Deep Dive

Deep dive into Terraform's dependency graph: how the DAG is constructed, how dependencies work, and how Terraform walks the graph with parallelism.

Terraliths are the natural shape of infrastructure

Terraform Terralith Infrastructure

The Terraform Terralith isn't an anti-pattern. It's the natural shape of infrastructure. The real anti-pattern is accepting broken tooling.

Why Stategraph: Terraform state as distributed systems

Terraform Infrastructure Distributed Systems

Terraform state is a distributed systems problem masquerading as file storage. Stategraph models it as a graph with ACID transactions and subgraph isolation.
