Terraform by HashiCorp defines infrastructure as code using HCL. Supports every major cloud provider. The standard for declarative infrastructure management.
Reviewer scorecard
“The standard for metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“The lingua franca of infrastructure as code. Provider ecosystem covers every cloud service imaginable.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“BSL license change was controversial but the tool remains essential. OpenTofu is the hedge if needed.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
“Infrastructure as code is table stakes. Terraform's provider ecosystem is its moat and it keeps growing.”
