    How does this compare with what CloudPosse offers? I used some of their modules recently but was desperately wanting a terraform framework/module/template for:

    • static site
    • vpc
    • public load balancer
    • private autoscaling service
    • private database instance.

    This is basically every setup ever, so was pretty surprised I couldn't find anything.

    1. 1

      Terraform modules like what CloudPosse offers are more like libraries if you compare it to the programming language world in my opinion. Frameworks are opinionated and integrated solutions for a specific use-case, e.g. Gatsby for JAMstack.

      The use-case I offer an opinionated and integrated framework for is manged Kubernetes clusters and the services running on those clusters integrated in an automated GitOps workflow. Which is a common use-case enterprises teams have.

      Your use-case is different from what I work on, but just like there are various frameworks for different use-cases on the programming side, there could be on the infrastructure automation side as well.

    This is amazing and definitely agree, frameworks for infrastructure makes sense, for faster, efficient and more secure practices. Looking forward to this.

    Why do we use frameworks to build applications, but build infrastructure and automation from scratch?
