Works with your existing Terraform

Terraform without the
state file bottleneck

Stategraph replaces the flat state file with a database-backed graph. Independent changes can run in parallel, and the state becomes queryable and auditable. No code changes.

Parallel teams No lock waiting Audit-ready state

What Stategraph makes possible

Teams run in parallel

If resources don't overlap, everyone ships

Under the hood: API and database

Stategraph has two parts: a CLI that mirrors Terraform commands, and a backend that stores state as a dependency graph in PostgreSQL. Not just different storage — it's a real database with transactions, resource-level locking, and SQL queries.

Why Terraform needs a new backend

FILE
State is stored as a monolithic JSON file. Every plan loads the entire file. Result: slow plans at scale.
LOCK
Global lock blocks all teams. Even those working on unrelated resources. Result: teams queue behind each other.
BLIND
State is opaque binary data. No queries. No insights. No audit trail. Result: Debugging via CI logs.
SERIAL
Resources execute one at a time. Even when operating on completely separate parts of the tree. Result: Wasted time waiting for unrelated changes.
