Short answer: you can, but it breaks down fast.

LLMs are decent at writing Terraform, but Terraform wasn’t designed for agents. A tiny app change often explodes into hundreds of lines of diff across modules, IAM, networking, state.

The real problem isn’t generating config, it’s control. With vibecoded Terraform you get: * no guardrails on what can change * hard to review whether a diff is safe * easy to accidentally destroy or over-permission infra * state + implicit dependencies are brittle for autonomous edits

We built Neptune to solve those issues and eliminate as many footguns as possible. We are spending a lot of our time thinking about guardrails so you can deploy code with AI safely
