## What it is
The official Terraform provider for Helm, written in Go, enabling installation and management of Helm chart releases on Kubernetes clusters through Terraform configuration. It exposes resources like helm_release to declaratively deploy charts from repositories or OCI registries.

## Use cases
- deploy helm charts with terraform
- manage kubernetes releases as code
- install nginx ingress via terraform
- provision helm releases from oci registry
- declarative kubernetes app deployment

## When to choose
- you already use Terraform and want Helm deployments in the same state
- you need declarative, versioned management of chart releases
- you want to deploy charts from OCI registries via IaC

## When to avoid
- you prefer managing Helm releases with helm CLI or GitOps tools like Argo CD/Flux
- you don't use Terraform or Kubernetes
- you need Helm features not exposed by the provider
