A browser-based formatting tool that makes large Terraform 0.11 and earlier plans easier to review with expandable sections and tabular layouts.
Prettyplan is a formatting tool that transforms large, hard-to-read Terraform plan outputs into a more structured and navigable format. It specifically targets Terraform versions 0.11 and earlier, where plan outputs were particularly verbose and lacked built-in readability features. The tool runs entirely in the browser, ensuring that sensitive infrastructure data never leaves the user's machine.
DevOps engineers and infrastructure developers who work with legacy Terraform (0.11 and earlier) and need to review complex plan outputs for changes, especially in large-scale deployments.
Developers choose Prettyplan because it provides an immediate, privacy-focused way to visualize Terraform plans without installing additional software or risking data exposure. Its expandable sections and tabular comparisons address specific usability gaps in older Terraform versions, streamlining code reviews and change validation.

All parsing and formatting happens directly in the browser, with the README explicitly stating no data is sent externally, ensuring sensitive Terraform plan data never leaves the user's machine.
Transforms dense Terraform plans into expandable/collapsible sections and tabular layouts for old/new value comparisons, directly addressing the verbosity of pre-0.12 outputs as described in the features.
Runs entirely in the web browser via the online interface, allowing instant use without any software setup or dependencies, as noted in the deployment section.
Specifically designed for Terraform 0.11 and earlier, filling a gap where native plan output was poorly formatted, making it valuable for older infrastructure projects.
The README admits there are no plans to update Prettyplan for Terraform 0.12 onwards, rendering it useless for current users where native outputs have improved.
As a manual web-based tool, it lacks CLI or API support, preventing seamless use in automated DevOps workflows or programmatic analysis.
With no updates since Terraform 0.12, the project has a stagnant community and no active development, reducing long-term viability and support.
