  None of these are a replacement of Terraform Cloud (recently rebranded to HCP Terraform). For example, when you create a PR, it could affect multiple workspaces. The new experimental version of TFC/TFE (I refuse to call it HCP!) implements Stacks, which is something like a workflow, and links one workspace output to other workspace inputs. None of the open-source solutions, including the paid Digger [0], support this - only the paid one, such as Spacelift [1] (which is the closest to TFC if you ask me). Having a monorepo of Terraform is a common design pattern, so, if I change an embedded module, it could trigger changes it many workspaces. As far as I know, Atlantis [2] can't really help in this case.

  By the way, the reason I singled-out Spacelift is due to its quality, and the great Terraform provider it has. Scalr [3], for example, has a really low-quality Terraform provider. I extensively use the hashicorp/tfe provider to manage TFC itself.

• Ask HN: Should we build support for more CI platforms, or features for Actions?
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Apr 2024

  Currently, Github Actions is de-facto the only fully supported CI platform in Digger, we’ve been building it as a CI-agnostic tool (https://github.com/diggerhq/digger) from get go. We keep getting requests to support more CI systems on our community slack and over Github issues (https://github.com/diggerhq/digger/issues/81).

  Unlike other automation tools for Terraform, Digger doesn’t run jobs on the server; instead it uses your CI (like Actions) as a compute backend. This is more secure and also much cheaper if you use your own runners in your CI.

  But each CI and each VCS is ever so slightly different; and we are now at a crossroads - Should we build support for more CI platforms, or more features for GitHub Actions? We’d love any thoughts/inputs!

• Ask HN: Should open-source projects allow disabling telemetry?
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Feb 2024

  We just had a user submit an issue and a PR to revert the changes we made earlier that remove the option to disable telemetry. We feel like it’s a fair ask to share usage data with authors of an open-source tool that’s early in the making; but the user’s viewpoint is also perfectly understandable. Are we in the wrong here?

  https://github.com/diggerhq/digger/issues/1179

  Surely we aren’t the first open-source company to face this dilemma. We don’t want to alienate the community; but losing visibility of usage doesn’t sound great either. Give people the “more privacy” button and most are going to press it. Is there a happy medium?

• Terraform drift detection and remediation - a primer
  1 project | dev.to | 8 Feb 2024

  Detecting and managing drift in Terraform is a multifaceted process. The use of Terraform commands such as terraform refresh and terraform plan plays a critical role in identifying drifts. Additionally, periodic monitoring of the infrastructure using these commands can aid in early detection and prevention of larger issues. Tools like Digger and Terraform Cloud offer dedicated drift detection and remediation mechanisms. These tools provide continuous monitoring and notifications, enabling teams to stay informed about the state of their infrastructure.

• 5 Open Source tools written in Golang that you should know about
  5 projects | dev.to | 15 Dec 2023

  Digger is an Open Source Infrastructure as Code management tool that helps orchestrate IaC such as Terraform & OpenTofu within GitHub Actions. Digger reuses compute used for application code so that you don't overpay for 3rd party managed compute for IaC. This approach eliminates the duplication of CI/CD infrastructure such as compute, jobs, and logs, and reduces security concerns by keeping sensitive data within the CI job. Digger's integration with existing CI systems offers scalability by leveraging on-demand compute resources and enhances security by confining data within the existing CI environment.
