## What it is
Stategraph is a platform that replaces Terraform/OpenTofu's file-based state with a Postgres-backed dependency graph, enabling resource-level locking, parallel plan/apply, and SQL queries over infrastructure. It also includes GitOps orchestration (formerly Terrateam) for PR-based plans, policy checks, and drift detection, available as SaaS or self-hosted.

## Use cases
- run terraform plan and apply in parallel without state lock contention
- query my terraform infrastructure with sql
- detect infrastructure drift early
- analyze blast radius of a terraform change
- gitops workflow for terraform pull requests
- estimate cloud costs from terraform state
- manage terraform state across multiple states in one plan

## When to choose
- your team hits frequent terraform state lock errors or splits state files to reduce contention
- plans are slow because they refresh the entire state for small changes
- you want SQL-queryable infrastructure inventory, audit history, and cost analysis
- you want PR-based Terraform/OpenTofu automation with policy and cost checks

## When to avoid
- you need a drop-in replacement for the full terraform CLI surface (init, fmt, console have no equivalents)
- your HCL uses patterns not yet covered by Stategraph's model - run stategraph diagnostics first
- you want a lightweight wrapper like Terragrunt/Terramate rather than a state storage replacement
- you cannot accept a hosted service or privately distributed self-hosted server image
