terrars
A tool for building Terraform stacks in Rust, offering an alternative to the CDK with static type safety and pre-generated bindings.
What is terrars?
Terrars is a Rust library for generating Terraform configurations programmatically. It allows developers to define cloud infrastructure using Rust's type system, producing Terraform JSON files that can be applied with the standard Terraform CLI. It solves the problem of managing complex Terraform stacks with the safety and tooling of a statically-typed language.
Rust developers and DevOps engineers who are already using Terraform and want to integrate infrastructure definitions into their Rust codebases with better type safety and autocompletion.
Developers choose Terrars over alternatives like the CDK because it offers a simpler, Rust-native workflow with stronger static typing, pre-generated provider bindings, and a toolchain that only requires Terraform itself, avoiding JavaScript dependencies and complex code generation pipelines.
