Infrastructure as Code plugin suite 2.4.0 is out! See https://iac-gradle.ysb33r.org for docs. With this release, we are effectively feature complete on both OpenTofu & Terraform support. We also support the publication of OpenTofu & Terraform modules as well as document generation via the
terraform-docs
tool. In the support of these tools via Gradle, it mostly out-does
terragrunt
in the mgmt of infrastructure. And it does so in a very gradlesque way. With this plugin suite, you can. • Manage multiple source sets of infrastructure. • Declare (tf) workspaces per source set. • Do 98% of all thing you would do with these tools, with a strong convention i.e. If you have source set called
database
and you have a workspace declared as
production
, you can apply it with a
tfDatabaseApplyProduction
. Behind the scenes, Gradle will switch to the correct workspace, place all of the necessary secrets in the env, run in the correct source directory, and execute your
tofu / terraform
command. Gone are all the accidental errors due to forgetting to change directories or switch workspaces! • You can have dependencies between source sets. For instance, if you have have to ensure that all of your updates to your database infra has to occur before you update your data pipeline infra, you can declare that relationship in the DSL and Gradle ensures that tasks are executed in the correct order for both
apply
and
destroy
cases. • You can even declare relationships between source sets in different subprojects and it will still allow the subprojects to be compatible with Isolated Projects and allow parallel execution where there are no relationships. • You can run infrastructure tests as part of the
check
lifecycle and get an HTML report. P.S. If you thought that Gradle is just for building JVM apps, think again - it is still the best tool out there today for orchestrating the whole pipeline.
