Terrateam

Terrateam is a GitHub-native Terraform automation service that runs Terraform plans and applies through pull request comments, keeping infrastructure changes inside the normal code review workflow. When a PR touches Terraform configuration, Terrateam automatically runs a plan and posts the output as a PR comment; an apply is triggered by an authorized comment once the plan is reviewed. For agents operating in GitHub-native infrastructure workflows — reviewing PRs, checking plan outputs, or monitoring deployment status — Terrateam surfaces infrastructure change information in the GitHub context.

Authentication is handled through GitHub app permissions rather than separate API credentials. Terrateam's access to repository Terraform configurations is controlled by the GitHub app installation scope. Teams using Terrateam primarily manage access through GitHub team permissions and the Terrateam configuration file rather than a separate credential system.

Documentation covers setup and configuration clearly. The workflow model (plan-on-PR, apply-on-comment) is well-explained. Teams evaluating Terrateam for GitHub-native Terraform workflows will find the documentation approachable, though the integration surface is narrower than Spacelift for complex automation use cases.

Integration is primarily through GitHub PR events and comments rather than a comprehensive REST API. Terrateam's configuration is managed through a `.terrateam/config.yml` in the repository. Agents interacting with Terrateam infrastructure workflows primarily do so through the GitHub API (reading PR comments for plan output, triggering applies via comment). Direct Terrateam API capabilities are more limited than Spacelift or Atlantis for programmatic workflow control.

Reliability is appropriate for a GitHub-integrated infrastructure automation service. Terrateam runs infrastructure plans in response to GitHub webhooks, which introduces dependency on both GitHub availability and Terrateam's webhook processing. Teams relying on Terrateam for production infrastructure changes should have a fallback procedure for running Terraform manually during service interruptions.
