Terraform at Scale: Remote State, Workspaces, and Multi-Environment Patterns

<p>Follow Tomas Reyes, a platform engineer at fleet-telemetry startup Meridian Freight Analytics, as he takes a single-engineer Terraform setup and turns it into something a whole team — and eventually an enterprise customer — can trust. Across four hands-on lessons you'll migrate local state into a locked S3 backend and recover from a stuck lock, weigh Terraform workspaces against directory-per-environment layouts for dev, staging, and production, use Terragrunt to eliminate copy-pasted backend and provider blocks across environments and modules, and wire up scheduled drift detection plus OPA/conftest policy-as-code checks that block a plan before it can ever create a public S3 bucket.</p>
