Terraform by HashiCorp defines infrastructure as code using HCL. Supports every major cloud provider. The standard for declarative infrastructure management.
Reviewer scorecard
“Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Functions get you from zero to production fast. The free tier is generous.”
“The lingua franca of infrastructure as code. Provider ecosystem covers every cloud service imaginable.”
“Firestore's limitations become painful at scale. Supabase with Postgres is the modern alternative.”
“BSL license change was controversial but the tool remains essential. OpenTofu is the hedge if needed.”
“Firebase defined BaaS but Supabase's open-source, Postgres-based approach is the future.”
“Infrastructure as code is table stakes. Terraform's provider ecosystem is its moat and it keeps growing.”
