  terraform cloud alternative

  

Last week we created a TF cloud alternative (https://github.com/motatoes/tfcloud-alt) that could just run in GH actions and got overwhelming response. A lot of people recommended Atlantis as a way to run terraform plan and apply jobs in your CI. It is used by many great teams (Lyft for example) - however, we see the following issues:

• digger

  86 2,697 9.9 Go

  Digger is an open source IaC orchestration tool. Digger allows you to run IaC in your existing CI pipeline ⚡️

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• terraform-github-actions

  1 690 8.5 Python

  GitHub actions for terraform (by dflook)

Nice work! I also kinda dislike the atlantis approach with the always running instance. I want to spin up a little something when I need it. So what made you go with atlantis? Also, what would you say are the key differences to something like dflook/terraform-github-actions?
