Infrastructure as Code

I want to keep everything in files my agents can access. Lately I've been moving all my infrastructure configuration to OpenTofu. It's great!

Most of my projects are simple:

• A server
• A database
• A Redis instance
• A queue worker
• A bucket

But there is always something else: Cloudflare rules, DNS or an extra service.

A year ago I spent several days building a staging environment that matched our production environment. With the infrastructure defined in code, this would have taken one hour.

Keeping the configuration in code has multiple other benefits:

• Agents can edit the setup
• I can ask agents questions about the setup
• My agents know the production setup when debugging issues
• I don't have to use DigitalOcean's or Cloudflare's UI
