## What it is
Gaia is a self-hosted web application providing a UI for Terraform modules and self-service infrastructure. It lets teams import modules from GitHub/GitLab, validate variables, run plan/apply/destroy with one click, and manage Terraform state and teams.

## Use cases
- give developers self-service access to provision infrastructure with terraform
- run terraform modules with a web ui instead of the cli
- import terraform modules from github or gitlab and manage them centrally
- validate and set default values for terraform variables before apply
- manage terraform state and view plan/apply logs in one place
- let non-terraform users deploy infrastructure stacks safely

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source terraform UI for internal teams
- you need self-service infrastructure provisioning without exposing raw terraform
- you want centralized terraform module management with variable validation and state handling

## When to avoid
- you need an actively developed tool with recent releases and broad terraform version support
- you require a full CI/CD pipeline or drift detection beyond plan/apply/destroy
- you cannot provide a docker daemon and a MongoDB 4.0 database
- you need enterprise features like SSO or policy-as-code
