summary
Claims that anyone can write a Terraform provider and shows how to do it with Terraform Plugin Framework and Go, using Delve for debugging, GPG-signed releases, and GitHub Actions for acceptance tests. Demo builds a file-lines provider that writes arrays into text files and a real provider manages Aerospike users; the Aerospike tests run in a Aerospike Docker image. Notes registry scale (about 4,500 providers) and reports the provider running in production for about a year.
