Terraforming Cloudflare: in quest of the optimal setup

What's this blog post about?

This guest post by Dimitris Koutsourelis and Alexis Dimitriadis from Workable's Security Team discusses their journey into infrastructure-as-code practice, specifically managing Cloudflare configuration in a declarative and version-controlled way. They share their experience with Terraform and Terragrunt, the challenges they faced, different approaches taken, and parts of their solution. The authors explain how they structured their Terraform folder, implemented resources in various ways to cover their requirements efficiently, and dealt with issues such as managing zone groups and handling dependencies between resources. They conclude that there isn't a single best solution and it all comes down to the specific requirements while keeping a balance between complexity and simplicity.
