> Not using Terraform Cloud

We adopted TFC at the start of 2023 and it was problematic right from the start; stability issues, unforeseen limitations, and general jankiness. I have no regrets about moving us away from local execution, but Terraform Cloud was a terrible provider.

When they announced their pricing changes, the bill for our team of 5 engineers would have been roughly 20x, and more than hiring an engineer to literally sit there all day just running it manually. No idea what they’re thinking, apart from hoping their move away from open source would lock people in?

We ended up moving to Scalr, and although it hasn’t been a long time, I can’t speak highly enough of them so far. Support was amazing throughout our evaluation and migration, and where we’ve hit limits or blockers, they’ve worked with us to clear them very quickly.
