Building an Internal Development Platform at Bloom and Wild with Terraform
summary
Platform team builds a repo-and-infra generator that uses Terraform Cloud to provision ECR and networking, creates a GitHub repo from a template, and wires GitHub Actions to build Docker Lambdas and push images so new microservices exist in minutes. Observability is automatic with Datadog dashboards showing invocations, duration and memory; logs and metrics appear after ~10 minutes. Infrastructure stays decoupled from function code, CI handles deploys, and the system is working but still a work in progress.
