Bridging the gap between IaC and Schema Management
· 11 min read
Introduction
When we started building Atlas a couple of years ago, we noticed that there was a substantial gap between what was then considered state-of-the-art in managing database schemas and the recent strides from Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to managing cloud infrastructure.
In this post, we review that gap and show how Atlas – along with its Terraform provider – can bridge the two domains.
As an aside, I usually try to keep blog posts practical and to the point, but occasionally think it’s worth it to zoom out and explain the grander ideas behind what we do.
If you’re looking for a quick and practical explanation of working with Atlas and Terraform, I recommend this YouTube video.
