summary
Atlantis runs plan and apply as PR comments, supports Terraform today and OpenTofu via custom workflows with work underway to ship OpenTofu in the container and autodownload its binary; it now supports five VCSs (including recent Gitea support), offers an API, and targets a move to stateless, API-driven architecture with external DBs and a pluginable VCS layer. Known limits: a file-locking regression blocks parallel plans at scale — teams report anywhere from one to 500 PRs a day — and the project is pursuing release hygiene and governance as part of a CNCF sandbox application.
