Module Design Patterns

Create reusable, composable Terraform modules for consistent infrastructure patterns.

Terraform module composition and registry sources

Well-designed modules encapsulate infrastructure patterns and promote reuse across projects and teams. We follow Terraform module best practices for maintainability and flexibility.

Module design principles:

  • Single Responsibility - Each module handles one logical component
  • Sensible Defaults - Work out of the box with minimal configuration
  • Flexible Inputs - Allow customization without forking
  • Clear Outputs - Expose values needed by dependent resources

Key Concepts

  • Use semantic versioning for module releases
  • Document all variables and outputs
  • Include examples for common use cases
  • Test modules with Terratest or similar
  • Publish to private registry for team access
