Evolving Beyond Terraform: Modernizing Infrastructure-as-Code with Kratix and Crossplane
Terraform has long been the standard for Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), enabling teams to provision and manage infrastructure efficiently. However, as development workflows evolve, Terraform's infrastructure-centric approach can create bottlenecks, limiting developer self-service and slowing innovation. The article explores how Kratix and Crossplane offer a modern alternative by introducing a platform-oriented IaC strategy. Kratix enables the creation of reusable infrastructure templates called Promises, ensuring consistency and security without requiring manual configuration updates.
