Digger (now rebranded OpenTaco) is an open-source Infrastructure-as-Code orchestration tool that runs Terraform plan and apply directly inside your existing CI pipeline, such as GitHub Actions. It provides Atlantis-like PR automation without requiring a separate server, keeping cloud secrets and compute within your own infrastructure.

Use cases

• run terraform plan and apply from pull request comments
• replace terraform cloud or atlantis with ci-native automation
• avoid sharing aws credentials with a third-party terraform service
• add pr-level locks to prevent terraform race conditions across prs
• detect terraform configuration drift
• enforce opa policies and rbac on terraform changes
• run terragrunt or terraform workspaces in github actions

When to choose

• you already use GitHub Actions or another CI and want Terraform automation without hosting a separate server
• security policies forbid sharing cloud credentials with external TACOS like Terraform Cloud or Spacelift
• you want Atlantis-like workflows with drift detection, OPA policies, and apply-after-merge
• you want to reduce costs by reusing existing CI compute for Terraform runs

When to avoid

• you need a fully managed, turnkey Terraform platform with a dedicated web UI and support
• your CI system is not supported or you cannot modify pipeline configuration
• you prefer a long-running server-based workflow like vanilla Atlantis
• you don't use Terraform, OpenTofu, or Terragrunt for infrastructure management
