We opt for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) over manual configurations in order to:
- Modularize infrastructure configurations for efficient provisioning, facilitating reuse across different projects.
- Enable continuous code testing, ensuring the reliability and stability of infrastructure changes.
- Maintain a comprehensive version history of all infrastructure configurations for auditing and rollback purposes.
- Streamline and automate on-demand scaling of infrastructure resources, enhancing agility and responsiveness to workload fluctuations.
- Automate the deployment of various environments, ensuring consistency and reproducibility across development, testing, and production environments.
