From “Feature branches” to “Feature environments” with Terraform
Too Long; Didn't Read
Feature-branches have been around for a long time and are a common practice among dev teams. But they are also needed for testing the application and testing its integrations. Using Feature Environments to the rescue is where Terraform really shines. Each developer runs his code locally, and everyone works with a dedicated S3 bucket that has different folders to isolate usage. Terraform uses a declarative approach, it is in charge of figuring out if the environment is new and needs to be created, or if it exists.
