All those companies have very decent experience with Terraform. Even if some didn't contribute to the core, they all built decent software on top of or around Terraform.

In addition, we at Terramate also plan to contribute as much as possible. We have worked exhaustively with Terraform and related libraries such as HCL and are very well aware of the limitations and shortcomings we need to resolve with OpenTF.

I'd love to emphasize that many of us tried to contribute to Terraform in the past, but HashiCorp became somewhat hesitant to review and accept PRs which massively slowed down innovation for Terraform.

While I see the reasoning behind HashiCorps decision to switch licenses I strongly believe that closing up the ecosystem further won't do any good to Terraform and other of HashiCorps products, hence our strong buy-in for OpenTF.

Thank you!

We just made the pricing for the StartUp and SMB tiers more transparent now. On the yearly subscription: We've seen many companies trying to implement something similar with Terraform, which quite often takes them a lot of time for the initial implementation and ongoing maintenance (eg provider updates, new features, bug fixes). Instead of doing it yourself, we're going to maintain it for you.

Interesting - dynamic providers and configurations are exactly what we're doing with Terramate also. Seems like we're having a very similar approach while using different tooling. Thanks for sharing the insights with me!

Thanks for sharing those insights. I'd love to hear what kind of issues you managed to resolve with CDKTF compared to using HCL other than being more developer centric?

I personally like CDKTF, but for me, it's still in a too early state of development to build a stable product on top.

Let me elaborate with the team on that and come back to you with details tomorrow at latest

Hi!

Thanks for your feedback. As quoted in the pricing section at the bottom of the page, we're calculating the pricing based on the size of your organization. At a later stage, we will definitely make the pricing more transparent.
