  A simple example of using some of Terragrunts main features

Below is a short post on some of the features of Terragrunt that I've found useful in my projects. I've also created an example that can hopefully better illustrate the benefits I'm writing about. Provided you have the following, you should be able to spin up the example resources yourself:

• terraform

  501 41,235 9.9 Go

  Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

  

Over the last few months, I've become very familiar with using Terraform to deploy infrastructure across multiple cloud vendors. I'm a big fan of it, but some of its idiosyncrasies can be frustrating, particularly as the size of your project begins to increase.

• InfluxDB

  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.

  

• terragrunt

  57 7,641 9.2 Go

  Terragrunt is a thin wrapper for Terraform that provides extra tools for working with multiple Terraform modules.

  

Fortunately, there's a tool that helps to mitigate many of these issues; Terragrunt.
