Databases as Code: Managing FoundryDB with Terraform
· 7 min read
Most teams manage their application infrastructure as code but still create databases by clicking through a dashboard. The database becomes the one piece of production infrastructure that has no audit trail, no PR review, and no reproducible setup. When someone asks "why is the production database on tier-4 instead of tier-6?" the answer is usually "someone changed it last year."
The FoundryDB Terraform provider closes that gap. You declare your database services, users, and firewall rules in HCL, version them in git, and apply changes through the same CI/CD pipelines you use for everything else.
