Why do 70% of organizations still struggle to adopt infrastructure as code? Sören Martius, CPO and co-founder of Terramate, joins Cory O'Daniel to tackle the challenges of modern infrastructure management and the delicate balance between vendor trust and lock-in.
The conversation explores practical solutions for common infrastructure challenges, from managing monolithic state files to orchestrating complex deployments. Martius shares insights on:
- When to maintain a monolithic state file versus breaking it into smaller units
- How infrastructure needs evolve as engineering teams grow beyond 100 people
- Why anti-lock-in features build trust with operations teams
- The role of AI in detecting and remediating infrastructure misconfigurations
For teams wrestling with infrastructure complexity or evaluating new tools, this discussion offers practical perspectives on building scalable, maintainable infrastructure while avoiding common pitfalls around vendor lock-in and team adoption.
