What our Terraform consulting covers

Each service area maps to a specific production problem. We scope only what your infrastructure actually needs.

Reusable module authoring

We design versioned, composable Terraform modules and publish them to a private registry so your teams stop copying code between projects.

Remote state management

We consolidate fragmented or local state files into a secure, team-accessible backend — S3, GCS, or Azure Blob — with locking and encryption configured from the start.

CI/CD pipeline integration

We wire Terraform plan and apply into your existing pipelines with PR-level plan output, drift detection gates, and approval workflows that prevent unreviewed changes reaching production.

Policy-as-code enforcement

We write and maintain Sentinel or OPA policies that block non-compliant resource configurations before they are applied, keeping your infrastructure aligned with security and cost guardrails.

Multi-cloud provisioning

We build and maintain provider configurations across AWS, GCP, and Azure within a single Terraform workflow, removing the operational overhead of managing three separate toolchains.

Terraform refactoring

We take on drifted, monolithic, or hand-edited infrastructure — importing existing resources, restructuring state, and replacing brittle configurations with maintainable, tested code.

Helping Orbem make Genus customer-ready in six months

Orbem is an agritech company developing AI-powered solutions for the agriculture industry, including Genus — a product that uses artificial intelligence to determine egg sex before incubation. To bring Genus to market, Orbem needed a fully functional hybrid infrastructure that could seamlessly connect cloud-based software with on-premises imaging devices, a technically complex challenge that required both architectural rigour and a reliable development pipeline.

Netguru designed and built a robust hybrid infrastructure using Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, and Ansible, supported by monitoring and automation tooling including Elasticsearch, Prometheus, and Traefik. The team also migrated Orbem's development pipeline to GitLab CI with SonarCloud quality gates, ensuring code quality and deployment consistency at every stage. Within six months, Orbem advanced from Technology Readiness Level 2 to Level 6, with Genus fully customer-ready and backed by a scalable, plug-and-play on-premises system.

As a startup, the collaboration with Netguru brought us the push and the expertise we needed to create our ambitious hybrid infrastructure.

How a Netguru Terraform engagement runs

Four structured phases take you from an initial audit to a production-ready codebase your team fully owns.

  1. Discovery and audit

    We review your existing Terraform code, state files, provider versions, and CI/CD setup to identify drift, security gaps, and structural debt before writing a single line of new code.

  2. Architecture design

    We produce a detailed infrastructure design — module boundaries, state backend layout, workspace strategy, and policy framework — reviewed and agreed with your team before build begins.

  3. Build and migrate

    Our engineers author the modules, configure remote backends, integrate pipeline gates, and import or refactor existing resources with zero unplanned downtime as the target.

  4. Policy and compliance layer

    We implement Sentinel or OPA policies, validate them against your real resource configurations, and document the rule set so your team can extend it without our involvement.

  5. Handover and enablement

    We run working sessions with your engineers, hand over full documentation, and transfer ownership of every repository, registry entry, and pipeline configuration — nothing stays locked to us.

Terraform Cloud vs. Terraform Enterprise: choosing the right tier

Terraform Cloud and Terraform Enterprise share the same core workflow, but they serve different organisational needs. The decision comes down to where your state runs, how you handle audit requirements, and how much operational control your security team demands.

Terraform Cloud is a managed service. HashiCorp runs the infrastructure, handles upgrades, and provides a generous free tier for small teams. It suits organisations that want remote state, run triggers, and a private module registry without the overhead of self-hosting.

Terraform Enterprise is a self-hosted deployment. Your team installs and operates it on your own infrastructure — on-premises or in a private cloud environment. It is the right choice when data residency requirements, air-gapped networks, or enterprise audit controls make a SaaS backend unsuitable.

The practical selection criteria we apply with clients:

  • If your compliance framework prohibits state data leaving your own environment, Enterprise is the answer.
  • If your team lacks the capacity to run and patch an additional platform, Cloud removes that burden.
  • If you need SSO, audit logging, and fine-grained RBAC today, both tiers support them — but Enterprise gives you full control over the underlying data.
  • If cost predictability matters, Cloud's per-user model is easier to forecast for smaller teams; Enterprise involves a larger upfront commitment.

Our adoption support covers both paths. We handle the initial configuration, migrate existing workspaces and state, set up VCS-driven run workflows, and train your team on the operational model — whether that means managing a self-hosted instance or working within the Cloud UI.

Common questions about Terraform consulting

How long does a typical Terraform engagement take?

Scope determines timeline. A focused refactoring engagement for a single environment typically runs four to eight weeks. A full build covering multi-cloud provisioning, remote state consolidation, CI/CD integration, and policy-as-code for a larger organisation is more commonly a three-to-five month programme. We give a specific estimate after the discovery phase, once we have reviewed your existing codebase and infrastructure inventory.

How do you handle existing messy or drifted state files?

We start with a state audit — mapping every resource in your state files against what is actually running in your cloud accounts. Where drift exists, we reconcile it using terraform import and targeted state surgery before making any structural changes. We do not delete and recreate state; we work with what exists to avoid unplanned resource replacement. The goal is a clean, accurate state file that reflects reality before we touch the module structure.

Which cloud providers do you support?

We work across AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. For organisations running workloads on more than one provider, we structure the Terraform codebase so provider configurations remain isolated and independently versioned, reducing the risk of a provider API change breaking unrelated infrastructure.

What does the client own at the end of the engagement?

Everything. You receive full ownership of the Terraform repositories, module registry entries, pipeline configurations, policy rule sets, and documentation. We do not retain access to your infrastructure or codebase after handover unless you engage us for ongoing support. The deliverables are written to be maintained by your own engineers without requiring our continued involvement.

Do you work with teams that already use Terraform but want to improve their setup?

Yes — this is one of the most common engagements we run. Teams that adopted Terraform organically often end up with inconsistent module patterns, local state, no CI/CD gates, and growing drift. We audit the existing setup, agree a target architecture with your team, and refactor incrementally so production is never at risk during the transition.

Can you integrate with our existing CI/CD tools?

We integrate with the tools your team already uses — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, CircleCI, and Jenkins among others. We do not require you to adopt a specific platform. The integration delivers automated plan output on pull requests, apply gates tied to approvals, and drift detection runs on a schedule you define.

Ready to build infrastructure you can trust?

Whether you are starting from scratch, untangling an existing codebase, or scaling Terraform across multiple cloud accounts, our engineers can scope a clear path forward. Book a call and we will come prepared with the right questions.
