Why segmenting your infrastructure into tiers makes your infrastructure design better

Thameez Bodhanya

Transform unmanageable infrastructure monoliths into scalable systems by segmenting resources into logical tiers. This explicit boundary reduces blast radius, speeds up deployments, and safely empowers application developers.

#1 about 5 min

Challenges of organic infrastructure bucketing and monolith workspaces

Grouping infrastructure without intention leads to deployment bottlenecks and massive blast radiuses.

#2 about 3 min

Defining infrastructure tiering with intentional workspace bucketing

Logical collections of related infrastructure resources are built independently using flat input and output variables.

#3 about 6 min

Breaking down foundational, shared, and application infrastructure tiers

Assigning specific infrastructure layers like data centers, platform resources, and application services into distinct tiers simplifies management.

#4 about 8 min

Real-world workspace implementations across different cloud provider environments

Practical examples of flat outputs and remote state sharing demonstrate successful implementations across multiple cloud providers.

#5 about 6 min

Scaling benefits and organizational impacts of tiered infrastructure design

Designing tiered environments reduces blast radius, speeds up deployment, and clarifies resource ownership.
