Terraform
Engineering.
We bring software engineering discipline to infrastructure. We refactor massive, tightly-coupled Terraform states into modular, testable, and safely deployable architectures.
State as a Liability, Not an Afterthought
A single Terraform state file covering an entire environment is the most common root cause of the 'terrifying apply' problem. Every change has a blast radius of everything, plan output runs hundreds of lines nobody can fully review, and one locked state blocks every other engineer's work. We refactor these into blast-radius-limited modules with clear ownership boundaries, backed by remote state and locking that make concurrent work safe instead of a coordination problem.
State decomposed along team and blast-radius boundaries: networking, data layer, and application infrastructure each get their own state instead of one file for everything.
Remote state with locking (S3 + DynamoDB, or Terraform Cloud) as a hard requirement, eliminating the 'who has the lock' Slack thread entirely.
Policy-as-code (OPA/Sentinel) checks run on every plan in CI, catching a public S3 bucket or an overly permissive security group before it reaches apply, not after.
Drift detection scheduled and alerting, so manual console changes are caught within hours instead of being discovered during the next incident.
What we build
State Refactoring
Decoupling monolith state files into blast-radius-limited modules aligned to team and system boundaries, with a tested migration path that doesn't require downtime.
Custom Provider Development
Building bespoke Terraform providers in Go for your internal APIs, when no existing provider covers a system you need to manage as code.
CI/CD Integration
Implementing Atlantis or Terraform Cloud workflows with OPA/Sentinel policy checks gating every apply, plus mandatory peer review on plan output.
Drift Detection & Remediation
Scheduled drift detection jobs that catch manual console changes before they cause a surprising apply, with a clear remediation runbook.
What we fix
Terrifying 'apply' steps that touch far more than intended because state isn't scoped to blast radius
Manual infrastructure drift causing state lock conflicts and surprising plan output
Lack of staging environments due to hardcoded variables instead of parameterized modules
Security groups and IAM policies managed outside of version control, invisible to any review process
No policy checks on plan output, so a misconfigured security group reaches production undetected
A single state file shared across teams, turning every infrastructure change into a coordination problem
