## What it is
The official Terraform provider plugin for Cloudflare, letting users manage Cloudflare resources (zones, DNS records, load balancers, WAF rules, etc.) declaratively via HashiCorp Terraform. Written in Go and distributed through the Terraform Registry.

## Use cases
- manage cloudflare dns records with terraform
- provision cloudflare zones as code
- automate cloudflare waf and firewall rules
- manage cloudflare load balancers via iac
- import existing cloudflare resources into terraform
- version control cloudflare configuration

## When to choose
- you already use terraform and want cloudflare resources in the same state and workflow
- you need repeatable, reviewable, auditable changes to cloudflare configuration
- you want to coordinate cloudflare settings with other cloud providers in one codebase

## When to avoid
- you need real-time or event-driven cloudflare automation rather than declarative state reconciliation
- you prefer imperative CLI or API scripts for one-off changes
- your team has no terraform experience and manages only a handful of cloudflare settings
