Terraform & IaC for BEAM Apps

|> Click-ops is a liability. Infrastructure as code is ownership.

/ / Who this is for

  • |> Teams whose infrastructure lives in someone's head or the AWS console
  • |> Engineering leads preparing for a security audit or SOC 2 certification
  • |> Startups moving from a prototype deployment to a production-grade setup
  • |> Companies who have Terraform but know it has grown untidy and needs a proper refactor

/ / What's included

  • |>Infrastructure audit and gap analysis against your current setup
  • |>Terraform module design for your stack (AWS ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, VPC)
  • |>SOPS-based secret management wired into your deployment pipeline
  • |>OIDC-based deployment from GitHub Actions: no long-lived AWS credentials
  • |>State backend setup (S3 + DynamoDB locking)
  • |>Documentation and runbooks so your team can operate and extend it

/ / How we work

  1. 1

    Audit & design

    We map your current infrastructure, identify drift and gaps, and agree the target Terraform layout.

  2. 2

    Build & review

    We write the modules, run a Terraform plan against your environment, and review the diff with your team before applying anything.

  3. 3

    Handover

    We hand over documentation, walk through the codebase with your team, and leave you able to extend it without us.

/ / Common questions

We already have some Terraform. Can you refactor it rather than start fresh?
Absolutely. Most engagements start with existing infrastructure. We audit what you have, identify drift, and incrementally bring it into a clean state. No tearing things down and risking downtime.
What is SOPS and why do you use it?
SOPS (Secrets OPerationS) encrypts secret values in your Terraform files using a KMS key, so the encrypted file can be committed to git safely. It avoids the common mistake of storing secrets in Terraform state or environment variables in plaintext.
How do you handle existing AWS resources not created with Terraform?
We import them into Terraform state so they become managed without being recreated. We do this incrementally to avoid surprises.
