Introducing tfgen: configure your Terraform stacks using plain Go
Blog post from Ably
Faced with the discontinuation of HashiCorp's CDK for Terraform, the Infrastructure Team at Ably decided to create their own tool, tfgen, using Go, to replace CDKTF's functionality while maintaining their existing infrastructure processes. The team sought a solution that would not necessitate extensive migration or disrupt their current workflows, leading them to develop tfgen, which generates Terraform-compatible JSON without requiring strongly typed provider definitions. This approach allowed them to bypass the limitations of CDKTF and streamline the configuration process. By leveraging AI for the migration process, they managed to transition all their workspaces efficiently and have open-sourced tfgen to benefit the community, providing a flexible and provider-agnostic tool to generate Terraform configurations.
