Terraform, Feature Flags and Configurability
https://ninad.pundaliks.in/blog/2026/02/terraform-and-feature-flags
Terraform has been my bread and butter for the past few years as the tool for Infrastructure as Code. I’ve dealt with a variety of patterns while working with Terraform, and noticed one pattern that is rarely discussed, but super useful. Feature flags are a way to write code that can behave differently based on how we configure things, and is as old as writing code for computers. It gives the author of the code flexibility to have different implementations, safely migrate systems from one approach or capability to a new one and choose behaviour based on the target context. Mature codebases find tooling or affordances that give them the ability to evolve and adapt, and feature flags are one pattern to achieve that. However, the public internet has very few examples about how to achieve this for Infrastructure as Code tools, including Terraform.
