4. Terragrunt Best Practices

Adopt industry-proven patterns to keep your Terragrunt codebase maintainable, DRY, and scalable. Key topics include:
  • Enforcing DRY across modules
  • Structuring live vs. non-live configurations
  • Automating environment promotions (e.g., dev → staging → prod)
Avoid duplicating terragrunt.hcl blocks across environments. Centralize shared logic in a single parent config to reduce errors.

Active participation in forums and Slack channels helps you discover real-world use cases and get fast troubleshooting support.

6. Advanced Use Cases

Take your skills to the next level by exploring:
  • Dynamic configurations with generate blocks
  • Custom helper functions (read_terragrunt_config, local_file)
  • Complex module composition and stacking
Challenging yourself with these scenarios builds expertise for large-scale infrastructures.
