Terraform by HashiCorp defines infrastructure as code using HCL. Supports every major cloud provider. The standard for declarative infrastructure management.
Reviewer scorecard
“Automatic HTTPS and the Caddyfile syntax make web server config trivial. Reverse proxy setup is one line.”
“The lingua franca of infrastructure as code. Provider ecosystem covers every cloud service imaginable.”
“Automatic HTTPS alone justifies switching from Nginx. The Caddyfile is infinitely more readable than nginx.conf.”
“BSL license change was controversial but the tool remains essential. OpenTofu is the hedge if needed.”
“Caddy proves that web servers can be simple. Automatic HTTPS should have always been the default.”
“Infrastructure as code is table stakes. Terraform's provider ecosystem is its moat and it keeps growing.”
