DevOps looking for a solution that provides extra tools for their Terraform
About Terragrunt
Terragrunt is a thin wrapper that provides extra tools for keeping your configurations dry, working with multiple Terraform modules, and managing remote state. Define how to manage your Terraform state once in a root directory and inherit in all child modules. Set CLI arguments for repeatable Terraform commands once in Terragrunt configuration. Run one command for all modules instead of executing it in each module independently. Terragrunt can download remote Terraform configurations. The idea is that you define the Terraform code for your infrastructure just once.

Lightlytics
The ability to confidently deploy and continuously operate cloud infrastructure is the competitive advantage your team needs today. Know the impact of your code so you can eliminate critical mistakes before they are deployed by continuously simulating changes as part of the GitOps flow. Lightlytics will visualize a context-driven risk analysis on how your cloud environment will be impacted with every configuration change. Reduce the time it takes to review Terraform code changes and the risk of downtime or security breaches before deployment. Lightlytics simulation engine uses the current configuration state of your cloud in a combination with the Terraform code proposed change, to determine how your cloud is going to be impacted if the code will be deployed.

Massdriver
At Massdriver, we believe in prevention, not permission, letting ops teams enforce guardrails while developers deploy confidently. Our platform encodes your non-negotiables into self-service modules built with your preferred IaC (Terraform, Helm, OpenTofu, etc.) standardizing infrastructure across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes out-of-the-box.
By bundling policy, security, and cost controls into functional IaC assets, Massdriver cuts overhead for ops teams and speeds developer workflows. Through a central service catalog, developers can provision what they need with integrated monitoring, secrets management, and RBAC baked in. No more brittle IaC pipelines; ephemeral CI/CD spins up automatically from each module’s tooling.
Scale faster with unlimited cloud accounts and projects, all while reducing risk and ensuring compliance. Massdriver—fast by default, safe by design.

Atlantis
Atlantis is self-hosted. Your credentials don't leave your infrastructure. Runs as a Golang binary or Docker image and can be deployed on VMs, Kubernetes, Fargate, etc. Listens for webhooks from GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket/Azure DevOps. Runs terraform commands remotely and comment back with their output. Used by one of the world's top companies to manage over 600 Terraform repos with 300 developers. In production use for over 2 years. Each pull request now holds a detailed log of what infrastructure changes were made and when; along with who made the change and who approved it. Atlantis can be configured to require approvals on every production change. Pass audits without compromising your workflow. Developers can submit Terraform pull requests without needing credentials. Operators can require approvals prior to allowing an application. Ensure that you apply changes before merging to master.

Terraform
Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool that provides a consistent CLI workflow to manage hundreds of cloud services. Terraform codifies cloud APIs into declarative configuration files. Write infrastructure as code using declarative configuration files. HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) allows for concise descriptions of resources using blocks, arguments, and expressions. Run terraform plan to check whether the execution plan for a configuration matches your expectations before provisioning or changing infrastructure. Apply changes to hundreds of cloud providers with terraform apply to reach the desired state of the configuration. Define infrastructure as code to manage the full lifecycle — create new resources, manage existing ones, and destroy those no longer needed.
