Terraform and the modern data stack as code

The article discusses how to manage a modern data stack as code using Terraform, an open-source project that provides infrastructure-as-code and implements change management of the modern data stack. It explains how to create and maintain dev, test, and prod modern data stack deployments with Fivetran's Terraform provider. The article also explores different ways to manage a modern data stack as code and segment it into dev/test/prod environments using Terraform. These include change management with dev/test/prod environments, implementation options such as separation at the logical level or physical level, and differentiation within modules, workspaces, or repositories. The article concludes by emphasizing that regardless of how and why a modern data stack needs to be split up, doing so with Terraform allows these changes to happen as code, where scale can be achieved effectively and managed efficiently.
