Gruntwork has built the most comprehensive commercial library of infrastructure as code modules, offering production-ready Terraform configurations that encode years of operational best practices. Rather than teams spending months writing and debugging Terraform for common infrastructure patterns like VPC networking, EKS clusters, RDS databases, and IAM policies, Gruntwork provides pre-built modules that are tested, documented, and maintained with security and compliance considerations baked in from the start.
Terragrunt, Gruntwork's open-source Terraform wrapper with over 15,000 GitHub stars, has become an essential tool in the Terraform ecosystem independent of the commercial module library. Terragrunt addresses Terraform's DRY limitations by enabling configuration inheritance, automatic remote state management, dependency ordering between modules, and multi-account orchestration patterns. Many organizations use Terragrunt as their standard Terraform workflow tool even without purchasing Gruntwork's commercial modules.
The Gruntwork platform combines the module library with Patcher for automated dependency updates, Pipelines for GitOps-based infrastructure deployment, and a compliance framework that maps infrastructure configurations to security standards like CIS, SOC 2, and HIPAA. This comprehensive approach targets organizations that need to move quickly on infrastructure while maintaining audit-ready compliance posture, reducing the gap between initial deployment and production-readiness from months to days.
