How to Understand a Large Terraform Based Project
Terraform at scale is best understood as executable documentation. Break down the repository structure, visualize resource graphs, analyze module inputs/outputs, reconcile state, and review workflows. With tools like Rover, Terragrunt, and Terraform-Docs, even 100+ folder projects become approachable and auditable.
