Introduction

Terramate supercharges Terraform with Stacks, Orchestration, Git Integration, Code Generation, Data Sharing and more.

It focuses on improving the Developer Experience (DX), providing workflows, and lowering the time spent writing and maintaining infrastructure code for projects at any scale.

Compared to other prominent tooling in the market, Terramate always generates native Terraform code that integrates with existing tooling such as Terraform Cloud, Env0, Spacelift, Terragrunt, and others.

The main benefits of Terramate are:

1. Stacks: are isolated and independent units that contain infrastructure code such as Terraform, Kubernetes Manifests and others. Stacks help you to split your monolithic IaC projects into smaller units to reduce the blast radius, speed up execution time, provide clear ownership and better collaboration.

2. Orchestration: helps define the order of execution of commands such as terraform plan|apply in a selected range of stacks. You can use orchestration to define the order of execution based on criteria such as tags or stacks that contain changes.

3. Git Integration: allows you to execute commands (such as terraform apply) only against the stacks that have changed. workflow and CI/CD pipelines and comes with advanced functionality, such as module change detection for Terraform stacks.

4. Code Generation: keep your Terraform DRY and maintainable by programmatically generating Terraform backend and provider configurations. You can also provide blueprints for your teams to create stacks with pre-configured infrastructure.

5. Data Sharing: define data once and inherit, extend or overwrite it in your hierarchy of stacks. Extremely useful for setting values such as tags or environments used in multiple stacks.
