Thoughts on Terraform state management, infrastructure parallelism, and building better developer tools.
Forcing a Terraform state unlock bypasses the safety mechanism that prevents concurrent modifications and state corruption. Before you run that command, understand what's actually happening and what you should do instead.
Read moreTerraform's state lock error is not a bug. It's a design choice that trades velocity for correctness, and understanding why reveals fundamental limitations in how we coordinate infrastructure changes.
Read moreTerraform state locking is a distributed coordination problem solved with filesystem semantics. The result is predictable: global mutexes, deployment queues, and superlinear contention as teams scale.
