layerform
A Terraform wrapper that helps engineers build reusable infrastructure stacks using plain .tf files and layers.
What is layerform?
Layerform is a Terraform wrapper that helps engineers create reusable, stackable infrastructure environments using plain Terraform files. It introduces the concept of layers to enable sharing of core infrastructure components, reducing costs and spin-up time for development and staging environments. It solves the problem of expensive, duplicated infrastructure by allowing teams to spawn only the layers they need on top of shared bases.
DevOps engineers, platform teams, and infrastructure developers managing multiple environments (e.g., staging, development) who want to optimize costs and improve consistency using Terraform.
Developers choose Layerform because it extends Terraform with reusable layers without requiring new configuration languages, reduces infrastructure costs by sharing base layers, and ensures environments are production-like. Its open-source, self-hosted nature and integration with existing Terraform workflows provide flexibility and control.
Overview
Layerform helps engineers create reusable environment stacks using plain .tf files. Ideal for multiple "staging" environments.
