In modern infrastructure management, Terraform and now it's open source fork, OpenTofu, has emerged as a leading tool for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), enabling efficient and reproducible infrastructure deployments.

This talk explores two distinct approaches to integrating OpenTofu into your deployment pipeline: the approve-before-merge approach using Atlantis and the traditional continuous deployment (CD) strategy where changes are applied post-merge.

We’ll delve into the workflows, benefits, and challenges of each method, examining how they handle collaboration, ensure compliance, and manage deployment risks. Attendees will gain insights into choosing the right strategy for their teams, balancing speed and safety in their Terraform deployments.
