Terragrunt is a flexible orchestration tool that lets Infrastructure as Code written in OpenTofu/Terraform scale, adding a configuration and orchestration layer on top of tofu/terraform commands. It organizes infrastructure into independently operable units and stacks, manages remote state and DRY shared configuration, and runs operations in dependency order via its Run Queue.

Use cases

• orchestrate terraform and opentofu deployments across many environments
• keep terraform backend and remote state configuration DRY
• run terraform apply across multiple modules in dependency order
• reduce blast radius by splitting monolithic terraform into units
• bootstrap s3 and dynamodb state backends for terraform
• codify pre and post hooks around terraform runs
• manage multi-account aws infrastructure with terraform

When to choose

• you manage many terraform/opentofu modules across multiple environments and accounts
• you want DRY shared configuration and automatic remote state setup
• you need dependency-aware orchestration and controlled run ordering
• you want to codify hooks and error handling around IaC runs

When to avoid

• you have a single small terraform project with simple needs
• your team prefers plain terraform/opentofu workflows without an extra wrapper layer
• you rely on tooling tightly coupled to terraform-native features terragrunt wraps differently
