there is an approach here to use the new api for drift detection https://github.com/cresta/atlantis-drift-detection/ it is usable but has a few issues

Interesting…might try this out

Atlantis uses PRs to runs plans so if it can’t run plan it will not detect diferences

Not specifically I’ve played with

driftctl

a little, and we built an in-house drift detection tool at a previous job (which I’m sad never got open sourced). I do find that, since we pin provider updates using Renovate, and since atlantis lets us plan the affected states fairly easily, we (at my current place) do essentially use atlantis as a low-tech drift detector; just one that only runs when provider updates happen. in our case, the environments change infrequently enough, users mostly don’t have permissions to make a lot of out of band changes, and the provider updates are frequent enough, that not having better drift detection hasn’t been a huge issue yet
