We treat infrastructure like software: version-controlled, tested, peer-reviewed, and continuously reconciled. Terraform, Pulumi, AWS CDK, and Crossplane for repeatable, audit-ready, drift-free infrastructure at any scale.
ClickOps infrastructure (built through cloud consoles) is invisible to version control, impossible to reproduce exactly, and untestable. Every manually created resource is a liability: an outage waiting to happen, a compliance finding, or a cost anomaly with no paper trail.
We build IaC foundations that apply software engineering rigor to infrastructure: Terraform 1.9+ with Terragrunt for DRY multi-account patterns, Pulumi TypeScript/Python for infrastructure that integrates naturally with application code, and Crossplane for Kubernetes-native infrastructure that developers provision via GitOps pull requests.
Key differentiator: We build IaC module libraries, not one-off scripts. Reusable, versioned, tested modules for VPCs, EKS clusters, RDS instances, and more. Teams provision standard, compliant infrastructure by consuming modules rather than reading documentation and clicking through consoles.
The specific tools, patterns, and practices we bring to every IaC engagement.
Production-grade Terraform with module registry, remote state in S3/Azure Blob with DynamoDB/Azure Table locking, and workspace-per-environment strategy. Terragrunt for DRY multi-account/multi-region patterns keeps your Terraform modules free of environment-specific configuration. Remote execution in Terraform Cloud or Enterprise with RBAC, audit logging, and cost estimation before every apply.
Infrastructure defined in TypeScript, Python, Go, or .NET, giving teams full access to loops, conditionals, abstractions, and testing frameworks that HCL lacks. Pulumi Automation API for infrastructure embedded in CI/CD pipelines and applications. Stack references for cross-stack outputs. Pulumi Cloud for state management, drift detection, and team collaboration with policy enforcement via Pulumi Crossguard.
AWS Cloud Development Kit with TypeScript/Python constructs: L1 (raw CloudFormation), L2 (opinionated defaults with security best practices built-in), and L3 (solutions constructs for common patterns like API Gateway + Lambda + DynamoDB). cdk-nag for automated security and compliance checks against AWS Solutions Architect, NIST 800-53, and HIPAA rule packs during synthesis.
Kubernetes-native infrastructure composition where developers provision databases, queues, and buckets by creating Kubernetes resources, with Crossplane reconciling the actual cloud resources. Composite Resource Definitions (XRDs) define organization-standard infrastructure shapes. Managed resources for AWS, Azure, and GCP. Infrastructure RBAC at the Kubernetes namespace level gives teams self-service without unrestricted cloud IAM access.
Terratest in Go for integration testing of real infrastructure: spin up, validate, tear down. tflint with AWS/Azure/GCP rule packs for static analysis. Checkov and tfsec for security scanning. conftest with OPA for policy testing against Terraform plans before apply. Test pipelines run in parallel to minimize feedback time and ensure module quality before publishing to the internal registry.
Atlantis for GitOps Terraform: PRs trigger plan, humans review, merge triggers apply. Spacelift and env0 for enterprise IaC orchestration with drift detection, policy enforcement, and audit trails. Automated drift detection schedules running terraform plan against live state and creating GitHub issues for detected drift. No manual terraform apply outside of the GitOps flow.
IaC transformation is not just a migration; it is a discipline change. We build the foundation, the module library, the testing framework, and the GitOps workflow simultaneously so teams have a complete, working system from day one.
Our IaC engineers are Terraform Associate and Professional certified, with deep expertise in all three major hyperscalers. We write IaC for production federal and enterprise environments where correctness and auditability are non-negotiable.
Assess existing IaC coverage across your environment, including what percentage of infrastructure is managed as code vs. clickOps. Identify existing Terraform modules for quality, security issues, and reusability. Map state backend locations, locking mechanisms, and access controls. Deliverable: IaC maturity report with prioritized improvement roadmap.
Build an internal Terraform/Pulumi module registry with standard, security-hardened modules for core infrastructure: VPC/networking, EKS/AKS clusters, RDS/Aurora databases, S3 buckets, IAM roles, and security groups. Each module is versioned, documented, tested with Terratest, and scanned with Checkov. Published to a private Terraform Registry or Artifactory.
Migrate existing infrastructure under IaC management using terraform import (or Terraformer for bulk import). Consolidate fragmented state files into a unified backend structure with consistent naming conventions. Migrate existing HCL codebases to use the new module library. Eliminate duplicate resource definitions and establish single-source-of-truth state layout.
Implement Sentinel (TFC/TFE) or OPA policies that enforce security baselines in every Terraform plan: encryption-at-rest required, public access blocked by default, approved AMI IDs only, tag compliance. Integrate Checkov and tfsec into the CI pipeline. All policy violations must be resolved before merge. Automated compliance reporting from IaC scans.
Deploy Atlantis or Spacelift for fully automated GitOps IaC flow. Configure per-workspace RBAC so teams can self-service their own environments while platform team retains control of shared infrastructure. Implement self-service developer portals (Backstage + Crossplane) where developers provision databases and queues via pull requests without writing any IaC themselves.
How IaC as a discipline is delivering speed, compliance, and operational excellence.
Built a complete IaC library for a federal agency with 47 AWS accounts, including Terraform modules for FedRAMP High-compliant VPCs, EKS clusters, RDS instances, and S3 buckets. All modules enforce encryption, logging, and tagging via Checkov policies. New account provisioning reduced from 3 weeks to 45 minutes. 100% infrastructure under version control and auditable via CloudTrail + Terraform state.
3-week provisioning reduced to 45 minutesManaged a 120-account AWS organization for a financial services client using the Terragrunt monorepo pattern, with a single module codebase and environment-specific configuration via terragrunt.hcl. Eliminated 12,000 lines of duplicated Terraform. Plan/apply time reduced 60% via targeted applies and caching. Drift detection running nightly across all accounts with zero untracked resources in production.
12,000 lines of duplicate code eliminatedAutomated full DR environment provisioning using AWS CDK Pipelines, bringing up the entire replica environment (VPCs, EKS, RDS, ElastiCache, load balancers) from zero in under 8 minutes via CDK deploy. DR runbooks automated as CDK constructs. Monthly DR tests run automatically, validating RTO targets. Saved 40 engineering hours per DR test cycle.
Full DR environment in under 8 minutesBuilt a Backstage + Crossplane self-service portal where developers provision PostgreSQL databases, Redis caches, and S3 buckets by creating a PR to a standard catalog. Crossplane reconciles the actual AWS resources with approved configurations and least-privilege IAM. Zero infrastructure tickets to the platform team for standard provisioning. Developer NPS for infrastructure provisioning improved from 2.1 to 8.7.
