IaC Residency
Patterns and best practices delivered for long-term success.
Build sustainable infrastructure,
without starting over.
Gruntwork’s IaC Residency pairs our IaC experts with your infrastructure team to design, refactor, and operationalize your infrastructure.
The goal is to pattern build, upskill your team, derisk your architecture, and leave you with infrastructure that’s faster to change, safer to operate and sustainable long-term.
Why IaC Residency
Modern infrastructure is inherently complex. Dependencies, state, environments, regions, and more all intersect in ways that tools alone can’t solve. What starts as small inefficiencies can quietly turn into billing surprises, slowdowns, outages, and painful refactors.
We created the IaC Residency for teams who:
- Have significant existing OpenTofu/Terraform investments or are moving to IaC
- Have outgrown their initial Terragrunt/OpenTofu/Terraform architecture
- Are struggling with monoliths, slow plans, fragile state, or unclear dependencies
- Have real delivery timelines and organizational constraints
- Want to empower their internal team and invest in their long-term success
What's included
Architecture & Design Guidance
- Review of your IaC structure, state, and workflows
- Guidance on modularization, dependency management, and state boundaries
Implementation Support
- Pairing sessions and working reviews
- Advice on integrating IaC into your existing pipelines and processes
- A set number of office hours with Gruntwork’s Solutions Architect
Embedded, Real-Time Support
- Dedicated Slack channel with Gruntwork engineers
- Fast feedback loops for design and implementation questions
The result
Teams that complete an IaC Residency come away with:
- Infrastructure that’s easier to deploy and maintain
- Clear ownership and documented patterns
- Reduced operational risk
- Faster delivery with fewer surprises
- Confidence in their architecture and in their team.
What makes IaC Residency different
- Not just consulting: We don’t hand you a slide deck and walk away. We’re by your side as you implement and operationalize.
- Built by IaC experts: Our engineers actively build and maintain Terragrunt and battle-tested IaC patterns used by some of the largest engineering teams in the world.
Is an IaC Residency right for you?
IaC Residency is a strong fit if:
- Complexity: You have meaningful ClickOps/Terraform/OpenTofu complexity
- Maintainability: You care about long-term maintainability
- Capability: This is an example of a capability description. This is where you'd describe the capability in detail.
