Thoughts on Terraform state management, infrastructure parallelism, and building better developer tools.
Demo day three: a first look at Stategraph Cost - estimated and actual spend inside your terraform plan, plus per-state budget guardrails.
Terraform state show inspects one resource in state, fast. Learn syntax, modules, sensitive output, remote state, and where it stops being useful.
Not sure what your Terraform infrastructure actually costs? This guide breaks down the real cost drivers and the best Terraform cost estimation tools available.
Build systems solved fast-and-correct twenty years ago. A walk through how Bazel's playbook - DAGs, hashing, sandboxes, caches - maps onto Terraform.
Stategraph 2.0 ships broader module coverage, a more robust HCL parser, and a faster core. Here is the engineering work behind the release.
Use Claude Code as a Terraform agent that writes, validates, and iterates on HCL, and learn where the backend becomes the bottleneck once the loop works.
Demo day showcased Stategraph refactor mode: change your Terraform code, and Stategraph generates the state moves to match. No more anxiety.
Stategraph 1.0.0 shipped with full tfvars support, HCL parser improvements, and a testing overhaul. Here is the engineering work behind the milestone.
Stategraph Velocity is fast plan and apply for Terraform or OpenTofu, built by replacing the flat state file with a database-backed dependency graph.
State Backend Insights and Inventory launched with unlimited pricing. Gap Analysis generates Terraform code. Fast plan and apply ships in February.
Demo day two showcased inventory management going GA in January with the technical foundation for parallel operations: coning and reification.
Built a tool that computes the dependency cone of any Terraform resource and extracts a minimal subset file containing only what you need.
We showed Stategraph to infrastructure engineers. The Q&A surfaced what actually matters: scale, self-hosting, and when to stop splitting modules.
When managing infrastructure, state corruption must be impossible. OCaml's type system catches entire categories of bugs at compile time.
Stategraph ingests Terraform state through four transformations. We built a round-trip validation test to prove every transformation is lossless.
