Everything as Code with Terraform
summary
Shows Terraform core as a binary client that talks to independently compiled provider plugins so plugins are gRPC servers that define resource schemas; details the Plugin SDK, TDD and acceptance tests that validate create read update delete behavior. Demonstrates building providers: an expense CRUD provider that passes tests, a Medium provider that is write/read only because the Medium API lacks update/delete, and a Google Translate provider used to auto-translate and chain publishes — it works but needs human review for translation quality.
