[Spacelift.io] Terraform Parallelism: How It Works, Tuning & Best Practices

I’ve written a blog post on Spacelift.io about Terraform parallelism!

Provisioning infrastructure using a declarative infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tool such as Terraform or OpenTofu consists of two major steps: First, you write the code, and then the tool handles the rest.

Once the tool takes over, you can do little to influence how quickly resources are provisioned. Some resources require a significant amount of time to provision.

However, you can take some steps to reduce the time it takes to provision a specific Terraform configuration. One of these is to control the parallelism of operations that Terraform performs.

In this blog post, we will explore Terraform parallelism: what it is, how to manage it, and best practices for configuring parallelism in Terraform.
