Schedule NowOur Approach
We bring a pragmatic, hands-on approach to every engagement
GitOps-First
We structure every workflow around Git-based automation and PR-driven workflows. Infrastructure changes are reviewed, tested, and tracked, by default.
Battle-Tested Practices
We've seen hundreds of Terraform repos. We know what scales and what backfires. We bring real-world patterns that fit your team, not just blog-post theory.
Own the Outcome
We don't stop at advice. We ship working infrastructure, whether that's Terraform code, pipelines, or policies. We're invested in your success.

DIY vs Terrateam
Compare self-managed Terraform workflow to one built with our help
Capability | DIY Approach | With Terrateam Consulting |
---|---|---|
Infrastructure as Code | Basic Terraform modules | Production-grade modules with best practices |
CI/CD Pipeline | Custom scripts, brittle workflows | Automated GitOps workflow with PR validation |
Security Controls | Manual reviews, no policy enforcement | OPA policies, RBAC, audit trails |
Cost Management | Reactive, after-the-fact | Proactive cost estimation in PRs |
Team Enablement | Limited documentation, tribal knowledge | Comprehensive training and documentation |
Time to Value | 3-6 months of trial and error | 2-6 weeks to production-ready |
2–6 Week Delivery Model

What We Help With
Practical solutions for real infrastructure challenges
Platform Setup
From greenfield AWS environments to production-grade GitHub Actions pipelines. We help you ship faster with confidence.
- Multi-account AWS architecture
- CI/CD pipeline automation
- Security and compliance controls
Migration Planning
We guide you through the unknowns: legacy VMs, snowflake environments, or brittle shell scripts, using practical steps to modern infrastructure.
- Legacy-to-IaC conversion
- Zero-downtime migration strategies
- Risk assessment and mitigation
Team Enablement
We level up your internal teams with structured handoffs, documentation, and working examples. Not just knowledge transfer, but momentum.
- Hands-on training sessions
- Documentation and runbooks
- Ongoing mentorship options

What You Might Be Wondering
Common questions about our consulting services
We start with a short discovery call. If there's a fit, we define a scoped engagement, usually lasting 2 to 6 weeks, and get to work. Clear deliverables, milestones, and success criteria are outlined before we begin.
No. Our consulting covers all major Terraform tools: Atlantis, Terraform Cloud, OpenTofu, CDKTF, etc. We work best with teams already using Git-based workflows, but we can help you transition to them if you're not there yet.
Yes. We're engineers. We write code, review PRs, build pipelines, and help you ship. Advice is part of it, but the outcome matters more. We're not here to create PowerPoints. We're here to build working infrastructure.
You'll work directly with our senior engineers who have years of experience with infrastructure automation, GitOps workflows, and cloud platforms. We don't have junior consultants or account managers. You get direct access to the experts who will implement your solution.
We typically work on fixed-scope engagements with clear deliverables. This gives you budget predictability while ensuring we're focused on outcomes, not billable hours. For ongoing support, we offer retainer options with dedicated engineering time.
