Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code tool that allows you to manage your resources in a declarative configuration language. Materialize maintains a Terraform provider to help you safely and predictably provision and manage connections, sources, and other database objects.

Materialize also maintains several modules that make it easier to manage other cloud resources that Materialize depends on. Modules allow you to bypass manually configuring cloud resources and are an efficient way of deploying infrastructure with a single terraform apply command.
