Perfect to programmably start multiple instances on your platform of choice.
What do you like best about the product?
There is a lot of modules that can handle almost everything. Also, it is really simple to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some feature are missing (ex. : read env variables) and it can feel a little bit `hacky` (ex. : trying to do a `else if` equivalent).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to start a cluster on different providers. Terraform allow us to exdents and reduce the nodes number in 2 minutes.
Using Terraform for your AWS infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
Terraform is a terrific implementation of the "Infra as code" concept. The modelling of entities and the relationships between them are clear and easy to conceptualize.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be difficult to get the exact correct configuration sometimes. Lack of good code examples - Sometimes you really need to do extensive searches of Github in order to find the exact example that relates to you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infra as code - Describe your entire infra in a versioned repository. Tear down and set up infra at the push of a button.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using AWS, and the API GW in particular, currently the biggest pitfall (and pet peeve of mine) is the fact that when you define an API GW resource, Terraform will not redeploy the affected stage. Also, it's crucial that you use a remote (not local) state so that all team members can work on the same state.
De-facto Infra as Code Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Mature-ish, large user base, easy to use, syntax good enough (e.g. not as verbose as Cloudformation), helpful-ish error messages.
What do you dislike about the product?
No easy roll-backs, not as good support as aws for other cloud providers, terraform state need to be dealt with extreme care as a corrupted state is a big hassle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infrastructure as code, code deployments with Jenkins
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't have any other choice, but that's not to say this is a bad tool. It is good enough.
Architecture as code - done right
What do you like best about the product?
"Infrastructure" as code is a brilliant description of what Hashicorp have done with Terraform. The HCL syntax is incredibly easy to use, along with their intuitive and powerful CLI tool
What do you dislike about the product?
As long as Terraform is implemented correctly, there isn't much to dislike. There isn't great support for Terraform in a few CI tools, unfortunately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using terraform to bootstrap our future container infrastructure. But in the meantime we're deploying services onto pre-provisioned architecture.
