DRY Terraform with Go Templates
Terraplate is a thin wrapper around Terraform to keep things DRY and improve the developer experience.
Terraplate traverses up and down from the working directory detecting Terraplate files (AKA "Terrafiles"), treating the Terrafiles without child Terrafiles as Root Modules (i.e. if a Terrafile does not have any children, it's considered a Root Module where Terraform should be run).
Terraplate builds Terraform files based on your provided templates (using Go Templates). Define your Terraform snippets once, and reuse them with Go Templates to substitute the values based on the different root modules.
The built files are completely normal Terraform files that should be version controlled and can be applied either via the terraform CLI or using the terraplate CLI.
This way you can focus on writing your Terraform code that creates resources, and let Terraplate handle the boilerplate (like backend, providers, configuration, etc) based on your provided templates.
The goal of Terraplate is to not do any magic: just plain (but DRY) Terraform, which means you can bring your own tools for static analysis, security, policies, testing and deployment.
The terraplate CLI allows you to run Terraform across all your Root Modules and provide a summary of plans.
Terraplate is a thin wrapper around Terraform aimed at reducing the amount of duplicate code used when working with multiple different Terraform root modules.
Please check the Documentation
Terraplate is stable and being used in production. There should be no breaking changes unless there is a new major version.
Terraplate does not have a cache, cleanup functionality or overwrite protection. It's quite dumb, by design, so please be careful that you do not overwrite existing files.
