Docnow Terraform Infrastructure

This repo contains the main Terraform config for DocNow. Make sure to read through the ADRs first.

Workspaces

We maintain both prod and stage workspaces of most resources. We also have a global workspace for resources which are independent of any specific environment. If you have not configured a specific workspace Terraform will use the default workspace. Your workspace can be configured by setting the TF_WORKSPACE environment variable, or explicitly switching workspaces with the terraform workspace select command.

ADR-2 provides the rationale for using workspaces.

The global Directory

A few resources, e.g. Route53, will only use the global workspace. These global resources should go here.

The shared Directory

This directory is for resources that may be shared between apps. These might include things like Elasticsearch, Redis, etc. These resources generally have prod and stage counterparts.
