Terraform Cloud Pricing Changes Sticker Shock

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • opentofu

    OpenTofu lets you declaratively manage your cloud infrastructure.

  • It is, btw, why it was so easy for us to spin up a quick-and-dirty registry for our alpha release[0] that basically contains all providers and modules - almost everything is hosted on GitHub.

    Right now we're working on the stable registry[1,2], and that's basically the main blocker left to a full stable release. You can track the progress in our weekly updates[3].

  • manifesto

    The OpenTF Manifesto expresses concern over HashiCorp's switch of the Terraform license from open-source to the Business Source License (BSL) and calls for the tool's return to a truly open-source license.

  • I would use opentofu but still waiting on https://github.com/opentofu/manifesto/issues/58

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • terrarium

    Mutexed file sync backed by S3. Designed for painless state management in CI or other ephemeral filesystems. (by evantbyrne)

  • Shameless OSS plug time. I made a small utility many years ago to solve the Terraform state problem in CI by using a file in S3 with a expiration timestamp as a locking mechanism. Obviously this only scratches the surface of what Terraform Cloud does, but might be enough for many teams. Feel free to fork it for your own purposes: https://github.com/evantbyrne/terrarium

  • atlantis

    Terraform Pull Request Automation

  • We use Atlantis [0] for CI/CD automation of Terraform pull requests to a centralized repository. It's pretty good too, especially for a self-hosted solution. I can't see how Terraform Cloud's costs would be justifiable for us without a custom contract.
