Scalable design for IoT & Smart Devices workloads
Performance
Use targeted plans/applies, implement proper parallelism, optimize state file size, use provider caching.
Security
Never commit secrets to version control, use proper state encryption, implement least privilege for service accounts, audit state access.
Scaling
Break large configurations into smaller root modules. Consider Terragrunt for managing multiple configurations. Use workspaces carefully.

Success Story: Terraform
Series B SaaS with complex AWS infrastructure
Challenge
Infrastructure was manually managed, no documentation, changes were risky and slow. Environment inconsistencies caused frequent issues.
Solution
Fractional CTO led Terraform adoption, codified all existing infrastructure, implemented module library, set up proper CI/CD for infrastructure.
Result
Infrastructure deployment time reduced from days to hours. Complete audit trail of all changes. Environment parity eliminated 80% of "works in staging" issues.
Timeline: 3 months
